Hi I am 3 weeks out and doing fine except for the yellow ooze that is coming from my insision, it strarted at the top and is working it's way down,I'm in no pain but it seems to open the insision a little and OOZE! Is this normal ? BOB MAC

Call your doctor now to be on the safe side!!! Sounds like it's infected..you don't want that.

Thanks I'll call them first thing in the AM.

You're welcome. I hope it isn't infected...but it's good to let your surgeon know to be safe. Best wishes to you!!

Hey, I had same thing happen to me. I had some "juices" oozing from my incision for a couple of weeks after my open second surgery. It probably isnt infected, you just need the surgeon to drain the fluid out. The fluid collected so much near my incision it formed a bubble underneath which my surgeon popped and all the goo came running out. That 'bubble' left a scar so you should have it drained before it does that to you. It sounds like a good idea to let your surgeon know so he/she can drain it and make sure it isnt infected.

Hi Robert, I had a similar problem post-op , my surgeon placed me on a trial of Levaquin for 7 days and that did the trick for me.

I would call Gadaletta/Gellman's office first thing in the morning. He may want to put on an anti-biotic and also drain out the incision. The same thing happened to me a few times. Hope it's ok. Joanne

How did it go today Robert? Did you call your surgeon? I hope everything is well.

My sister-in-law had that problem she had to have antibiotics and the surgen squeezed the excess fluid from her incision.........you dont want the incision to become infected so please go see your doctor soon

So what did Dr. G say? Are you ok? I also noticed in your profile that you were in the hospital at the time as Cesar L. and you had the same doctors. Do you know what happened? Joanne
