The surgery was today and the surgeon said everything looked splendid. This evening I was having awful pain from the CO2, and was walking around the house. Pants felt wet, and a quick look revealed the steri-strip on my belly button was soaked in blood and it was running down my belly to my pants. ER trip, painful ultrasound and repacked for pressure. I was so upset I gave myself a rash- yes really! Awful night but at least it's over!

I leaked all over the place from my belly button. Maybe it has something to do with using the same spot for 2 surgeries?

Feel better!

sorry that really sucks. I had mine out about 9 month after my surgery after many hoops (they thought I had an ulcer not crapped out gallbladder).

take it easy!!
