Billy button incesion looks open and yellow
hello all
I did vertical gastric sleeve, and today is my 14th day after surgery. When the doctor removed my staples. the belly bottun incision started to drain yellow liquid. After 5 days the draining become less, but thr incesion looks open. It is covered with yellowish matter. It is still wet. Is this normal. The other incesions are closed and fine. Any advice???
Thanks for any help

Give your surgeon a call, s/he can let you know if you need to come in and get it looked at.

Have you called your surgeon's office about your incision and the draining? Anything that comes up like this newly post-op is worth a phone call, especially with the weekend starting tomorrow.
