Asked By:tma330 in Wilmington, DE

I had a TT because I had diastasis.. and hernia.. barely any skin removed at the end of May, at that time two drainage tubes were put in and removed day 10... several days later fluid started to build up around my belly button .. we did catscan with contrast to confirm a seroma.. first he did the needle aspirations 5 of them, but it wasn't going down too much.. so he put a drain back in for 2 weeks.. now I am still swollen with fluid .. when will it dissolve or absorb??
