I think it is a time for some updates. Last time I saw my doctor on 2/ 15. Day before my friend who is ultrasound technician did an ultrasound to see if I still have some fluid left from my seroma.
There still was about 2mm of fluid very very little.
When on 2/15 I saw my doctor he told me THERE IS NOTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. He asked to trust him. He said “You trusted me to do your surgery, trust me with this as well”.
Make sense ?. As of right now I don’t think I have any fluid left, at least I can’t see it and I can’t feel it. It is still a bit hard right above my scar where seroma was, but I read somewhere on this site that it is normal. I still wear my binder as much as I can. If I go out I don’t and if I am out for a long time I get a bit swollen by the end of the day.
My next appointment with my PS is scheduled for 4/11.

My measurements:
Weight – 130 Weight – 125.5
Waist - 32.5" Waist – 30”
Where BB - 35.5" Where BB – 31.5”
Flanks - 36" Flanks – 33”
Hips - 38" Hips – 37”


My biggest problems: flanks and pouch under BB are gone. I still have a lot of healing to do (I am very slow healer), but overall I am very, very happy.

I have heard and seen that sometimes with major surgery like this it can take a while for everything to settle down and get to a normal state. I'd be interested to know how you are now.

How are you doing now that you are about 7 months out ? I looked just like you did and felt that exact same way. Its been a year now and i am happy just that i ended up putting on weight some weight and it seemed to go right to the flanks. Overall still very happy :)

OMG! I am very happy. That fat especially when I was sitting really bothered me. I know I still have a long way to go,but I am happy. As soon as my seroma is gone (and it got much smaller) I will be the happiest person alive.

I can't believe how time flys. It seems like I just had a surgery and yet it had been 4 weeks.
I feel much better. I still have a bit of pulling sensation when I get up after siting. it is to the the right of my BB. I still have my seroma, it is so small that sometime I think it is just a swelling. Wishful thinking :). I wear my binder that put pressure on it and the whole stomach, waiting until it goes away. According to my doctor and this website if it it < 10cc it should be just absorbed by the body. Last time it was drained on 1/26. It was about 12 cc. On 1/29 I was reexamined by my PS and he said it is too small to drain. Any way I will see how it goes. If everything goes well, my next appointment is on 2/25

I know what you mean about the pulling sensation! Every time I get out of a chair or out of the car it hits me and I have to walk it out! It's almost better to stand as much as I can! Your 4 weeks have flown by! I go in next week for my 4 week checkup
