Helllllooooo! its been so crazy the last couple of weeks.... so I spoke too soon. I have been drained 3x since I was on last. Just about every 2 weeks I have been going back in. doc cant believe that I keep coming back. He said this has never happened so many times with someone as thin as me... haha, never been called that, but OK! anyway, he is giving it a little more time, then there is an antibiotic that he caninject into the space to make the tissue sticky and adhere to one another. if that doesnt work< then its back to the OR... grrrr, dont want to do this again!

10 weeks post op...
Ladies, so sorry I haven't updated... Hubby spent a week in the hospital, never had anything done or ever been in before...he was numb on both hands and feet and mouth. Very scary! He is adopted so no medical history. They did every test on him, and couldn't find anything except low white blood count, but couldn't explain why...he is home and back to normal routine, except no drinking for now... Seeing a hematologist to see if they can shed some light... Also 2lyme tests and both neg...
Anyway, Seroma is gone. Swelling is down for the most part, and I am out of the habit of the girdle and binder... The scar in the area where I was drained is thicker under the skin, hopefully that will break down over time. There are still spots on my tummy that are numb, and it seems to be moving around... Feeling SO much more normal!

Zoom_ OMG that is horrible about your husband I hope they find out what is wrong. That has to be so scary. I am glad your seroma has resolved itself, mine s still going, I am thinking maybe I should stop having him drain it and let it disappear on its own in time? I dont know, I am still really swollen! You look fabulous well no new pics but heck even at 20 days you looked amazing, I bet you are even flatter now.

Really scarey! Will try to take some pics, but I don't think anyone would notice any difference but me... That 9th week was a big corner turner for me. It just flew by because of hubby, and not all consumed with the tummy! You are not far behind! How many times drained for you? I might ask your dock to drain from diff spots so no big buildup of scar tissue... Going back to see mine 5/2, so will ask about that then.

Almost 8 weeks PO
Able to start exercising today. Starting w Pilates... Doing more research on Internet about my bulge above incision. Anyone know anything about pseudo bursa? I don't think my Seroma is back, no waterbed sloshing... Incision is hard, and there is a bulging above it... It's swollen, but just in that spot, not my whole tummy... I don't know if I'm just being picky, but now going through this, I want perfection... It was flat right after surgery, doc says should be flat again, but now I have started reading again, and pseudo bursa doesn't seem to go away on its own... Grrrr!

Have you done any lymphatic massages? The hard spot may be scar tissue. The massages may do some good and soften up your tummy. I am actually going for my 2nd lymphatic massage today. Can't wait.

I had one, didn't think it did much... Do you think they work? Getting worried...really don't want to go through this again...

Zoom buy the massager I have a pic of it on my page and use it 3 times a day 10 min each ... Works just as good or as close to the massages ... Bought it at bed bath and beyond ... Totally worked on my hard spots and my mom used it after she got lipo. Worth every penny . My ps told me to buy it.

Thank you! I actually have one like that when hubby hurt his back... I will try.
