amazing7765Mar 31, 2019
Been having increasing pain, swelling over last three days. Today I had a fever, topped at 101.5. Surgeon told me to go to the ER. DX cellulitis associated with my new belly button. The pain is indescribable. Given pain meds but none for home (surgeon refuses to prescribe them) My surgeon was called and he refused to see me in the hospital, told the ER doc it was probably just a seroma, and said I should call tomorrow for an appt. CT results consistent with normal serous fluid post surgery Help
