I HAD SURGERY ON 3-24 AND NOW THE AREA WHERE MY STOMACH WAS REMOVED IS BLEEDING AND COMING THUR ON MY SHIRT.  I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO THE ER BUT JUST WANTED TO KNOW IS THIS NORMAL.  I HAVE NO PAIN WITH IT AT ALL.

When you say its bleeding I'm not sure by your post how much blood you're talking about.  A few drops have bled thru, or your shirt is saturated with blood? 

When I had my port replaccement surgery done my port incision (approx 2 inches long) had dried blood underneath the steri strips that began to look like fresh blood after I was able to shower and the incision got wet. 

You can save yourself an ER visit by calling yoour surgeon-either your doc or a partner will be on call and after you describe the bleeding to them can gicve you further instructions.

Good luck!

I would go in and have it checked out,  just in case..... but usually if there is no pain or foul oder coming from the incision you are ok.
