See surgeon: May have been hematoma-bruising that drained, but there are complications of your surgery that may need attention by your surgeon.

Bleeding lap band: Not normal, but it does happen occasionally. Patients undergoing surgery are usually given a blood thinner at the time of surgery which tends to make your blood thin. Some people can end up bleeding more than others. It usually stops and the bruising will eventually go away. Your wounds should not be draining fluid though. That is often a sign of a wound infection.
