Scar tissue or pseudo-bursa? (Photo)

ggirl17
I had a TT 6 weeks ago and had drains removed one week later. Upper abd swelling during 1st 2 weeks post op. Weeks 2-6 post op--fluid removed 6 times. Removal was 20-30ml per time for 4 visits. Visit 5=5 ml. Visit 6=0ml. After visits 5&6 w/i hours N/V, upper ABD swelling/ pain/ tightness in mid back. I've had steroids x2 in last 2 weeks. Is pressure inside causing GI problems? I've been wearing Spanx constantly since surgery. Is this a Psedo bursa? Please provide opinions. Thx!
