I just had three small ventral hernias repaired 11 days ago. The incision is inside my belly button. The following day I did have some fluid above the belly button that was really squishy and the dr drained. At my 1 week post op he drained another 8cc (approx). There is still swelling above my belly button but now it's more spongy than squishy. No pain really. I'm worried it's another hernia or could it just be swelling?
