So I am almost 3 weeks post op from an open RNY revision to DS and I think my incision is infected, not the entire thing but at the very bottom is very red and there is a lump. It just started to ooze a little bit. It is tender to the touch as well. I called my surgeon and he said to put a warm compress on it. I have no fever and I don't feel sick or anything. He said if it gets worse to go to the ER otherwise go and see him on Monday morning. Anyone else have any issues like this?

Thanks
Shawnee
 
It does sound like an infection. Warm moist compresses may help. If not, an ER doc should know how to diagnose and treat a wound infection even if he/she knows nothing about the DS.
 
has to be good you have no fever - but I'm sure you are worried. keep tracking things and update us.
