I had surgery last week and was released from the hospital 2 days ago. Today I noticed that I am having leakage between the bottom 2 staples in my belly. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

@JRE6242,
It is possible to have leakage (normally the drain after surgery would remove excess fluid) so I would DEFINITELY contact the surgeon for reassurance and possibly a quick visit to the doc.

Internal stitches should be holding together - DO CHECK WITH THE SURGEON or your local GP rather than wait for a post-op check.

Best to be on the safe side JRE6242.

Best wishes.
