Hi,
I had my gallbladder removed on the 17th of May key hole and I had a drain for two days. They took the drain out on the 19th and I’ve been home since.
No problem with any pain internally and three of the incision sites are healing well. I had an issue with my belly button incision but it seems to have resolved itself and I have the itchy healing feeling now.
Anyway my drain site still hasn’t fully closed. It’s not painful, the incision doesn’t seem red or swollen at all but it’s leaking a very small amount of green fluid and sometimes spots of blood. A very tiny amount on the dressing. No smell or thickening of the wound either. It’s been six days since the drain was removed shouldn’t it be fully closed now? I’m seeing my surgeon tomorrow for repeat bloods and I’ll definitely show him what’s going on but I’m so anxious about this I was wondering if anyone had been through the same?
