I had surgery on 4/30/04. My feet and ankles kept swelling and neither elevation or walking relieved them.On 05/09/04 I had an abdominal SEROMA.

It was both scary and funny all that fluid pouring out of my incision. The DR said it is "NORMAL". I wish they had warned me ahead of time!

I soaked thru the binder, underwear, dress, and three blankets in the ambulance. Up until that happened I felt good. Now the surgical site is hyper-tender.

However that funny looking GOOSE EGG look in my abdomen is gone. I have to follow up with DR.Wood tomorrow.

Hi Deborah, My main incision had a hematoma on it and it busted and ooze galore came out too. Now they call it a Seroma on my main incision and I am having to pack mine with gauze so it will heal from the inside out. Hope you heal fast. God Bless, Sheila - 35lb
