I was sleeved on 9/1/12 and found a really good PCP on 9/7/12. had no problems just wanted to see a Dr for some Gallbladder prevention pills. This DR to my surprised worked with a Weight Loss Surgeon before starting this clinic. She was not as knowledgeable in the Sleeve as other procedures, however she gave great advice and informed me that my incision had great scab and looked to be doing well. I awoke on 9/9/2012 to a very red and hot scar. 9/10/12 I was back in and she told me to take the antibiotics 4 times a day. Also asked to to call my surgeon. Talked to the surgeons team and was told that its not an infection its hard and red due to the inflammation and that 4 times a day is too much for my sleeve to handle. She also had the sleeved and informed me that it scared her when she found her incision . Also told me to try not to use any anti inflammatory mediation for fear of it being to hard for my stomach to handle. Instead to use Arnica. Later that day my pcp called and said that my white blood count is normal so she sure its not an infection but wanted to see me on 9/14/12. I showered and put some of that Arnica cream on it and instantly the pain/ tenderness was gone (this stuff is great) however its still swollen and red. I'm trying to be positive and very happy with my sleeve but scared that it could be fluid that has formed and will need to be drained. Has this happen to anyone else and if so what was the outcome.
