I had my VSG done this afternoon. Well when I sit up on the edge of hospital bed earlier the entrance wound under belly button started leaking a lot of blood. Also the two times I walked the same wound seaped so much blood ran onto the floor. Dressing been changed twice. Nurse said its not good. Dr will be in to see me tomorrow. Anyone else have this issue??

Oh no, Other than that, how are you feeling? Do you have a drain in. I would insist that the Dr. be let know of the situation NOW and let him make the call of if it can wait untill tomorrow. It may not be anything to worry about but I would let the Dr. make that call.

Again, INSIST the Dr. be notified! You are your BEST health advocate!

I agree that you need to be attended to now and not tomorrow. If you have already demanded that he be called and have not had a good response I would get on the phone yourself and call his office. A tiny bit of bleeding may not be an issue but for it to be enough to leave drops on the floor is definitely not a good thing. Try not to stress over it but you do need to get that taken care of. Easy entrance for infection. Good luck!!

I do agree that it should be looked at now... my concern would be increased risk of infection... hospitals are crawling with nastiness, no matter how great they are...

HOWEVER, the bleeding wouldn't worry me too much personally... they give you blood thinners to reduce the risk of clots to it makes sense that you would bleed pretty easily if it's open...

Still... I wouldn't be okay with an open incision site AT ALL!

I had this - ended up having to have a stitch put in. They numbed it, they stitched it, it was over. That incision hurts a little more than the others, but not a tremendous problem. I'm doing great post-op (day 8 and I can bend down & touch my toes).

The big problem is not seeing someone until tomorrow. I'd be a little insistent about that.
