Incision where drain was is leaking

    Had my surgery last week in TJ, MX and last night my incision where the drain was started leaking. It is going through the gauze and bandages very quickly. Anyone else have this? The liquid is fairly clear so I don't think it's anything to worry about but it is really inconvenient.

    I would stil have it check out as I have read where several sleevers who had surgery in Mx. have ended up with MRSA. Better to be safe than end up back in the hospital. Take Care!

    Reg, if the color changes around incision site, or it has a foul odor, then I might be concerned about an infection,then call Dr. Lopez, but many of us have gone to Mexico for our sleeve surgeries, that have not got MRSA. Just watch it closely, it should be fine.

    Thank you for the advise. The leaking slowed down last night and has stopped as of this morning. There is no pain at the incision site but I will watch it closely.
