11 days post op full abdo Had post op appointment yesterday and nurse said looks fine is a scab . Okay so when going through newsfeed I see black necrosis . Now the photo looks a bit yellow. Nothing is coming from there like pus and it's not smelly.its not yellow . Just I guess I am a hypochondriac I am sorry. I am just looking for extra opinions and possibly reassurance . Many thanks
