One of my incisions are leaking, is this Normal????
Hello Everyone. I am 8 days post-op and wounds are healing well. Just today I had a small bubble and then it leaked a little. It is a little cream white color, maybe a little pink too? I was thinking of calling the doctor, but because the wound looks ok otherwise, I thought I would ask you guys if you have had this happen or heard of this happening. Is it normal? They have glue over the incision, so it has not been even moist since I had the surgery. It is also extra tender around that wound.
Hope someone can give me some advice until tommorow morning when I call the doctor.

Watch it for sure. It is normal to have a little clear seepage, but if it gets yellow or greenish in color and the incision is red and the red starts to spread out or the wound gets more swollen, time to see your doc. It is normal for the largest wound to be more tender than the others because that is where they pulled the stomach through, however you didn't mention if it was the largest one, so just putting it out there. Regardless of what I or anyone else says, you are there living it and if you think it warrants a call to your doc, do it. If anything more than your own peice of mind.
Thank you for all the responses. I did end up calling the doctor and as you suggested, it is normal. I would have to look out for puss or redness around wound ( as you said). It also happens to be the large wound on the left is the most tender one. But doctor confirmed that is normal too.
I will sleep much better tonight knowing it is ok.
Thanks again to all my new friends!

MIne leaked for 8 weeks before they ultimately closed up. It was really nasty but my surgeon insisted they were fine. My glue was virtually gone after 4 days and they were just left hanging. You're probably fine.
