8 years ago hernia repair surgery to correct a previous surgery where the mesh had fused into the colon. Since that time my abdomen has been tender and bloats often to which my previous surgeon was unconcerned. My family doctor ordered an ultrasound which showed a moderate amount of fluid accumulation and referred me to a surgeon. The surgeon referred me to have an aspiration done under ultrasound guidance. Is a seroma lasting this many years normal or could there be an underlying issue as well?
