I am 22 days post extended TT but I have some problems healing. 2 days post drain removal I started to develop serious waterbed effect. I could slosh liquid all the way from my left flank across my abdomen to my right flank. Since then I have been needle aspirated 6 times every 3 days +-300cc comes out. This seems like a lot. My surgeon thinks nothing is wrong and even wants to stop aspirating in a week or so. He wants to "signal my body to stop producing fluid". Is this wise ?
