I had Lap RNY on 12/2 and when I was being released one incision started dripping.  They had glues them during surgery.  The nurse put some bandages on it and said it was fine and to change them as needed.  The drip has slowed down but definitely not stopped and it is now day 11.  The other incisions are almost completely healed.  Has anyone had this issue?  I did not have drains or anything like that post op, just the glued incisions.

Thanks for any info!

 My drain site leaked for about 3 weeks. If I moved a lot it leaked more. Just keep it clean and covered.

Mine "weeped" for quite a while to - maybe 3 weeks.  It wasn't a problem.  Just keep it covered and clean.

No way for anyone to tell you, unfortunately.  I had open RNY and a small area opened up and it oozed nasty looking (but harmless) yellow stuff for 10 weeks! One of my plastic surgery incisions partly opened up and it stopped in 2 weeks,
