Question
Hello doctor,
My husband has gastric bypass surgery, after 4 days he can eat again, but the abdominal drainage still leaks a lot of fluid. So the doctor asked me what to do after gastric surgery? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What to do after gastric surgery? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your husband has had gastric bypass surgery but you have not provided the doctor with more information about your husband's gastrectomy (perforation stitching, gastrectomy due to benign disease or cancer), the nature of the drainage of a lot of fluid: As abdominal fluid or fluid of the digestive tract, the doctor cannot give you exact advice. If your husband is still in the hospital (4 days after surgery), you should ask your husband's surgeon. If your husband has been discharged from the hospital, you should take him to the hospital again for specific advice.
If you still have questions about bleeding after gastric bypass surgery, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
