I can't comment as someone who has had surgery..but I am a nurse and I've seen quite a few. Do you have JP drains? (I'm assuming you do, and that is how you saw the clots). Clots are normal...in fact, if the drainage is bloody, you will sometimes have clots form in the drainage collection. This is normal. The drainage will eventually become less bloody and turn to a pinkish fluid (serosanguinous). This is also normal. Also, the drainage will vary from side to side.
I hope this helped
