got to go have fluid removed!

Found out today that I have to go back and have fluid removed 2 inches below my belly button. It started out being about the size of a golf ball, very tender and about a week later it is now the size of a tennis ball. OMG I am upset about this! Has anyone every had this problem? I hate the thought of them going back in me, having to cut on me.

cant say i have had this experience. BUT i do have a lump by my belly button that wont go down......not as big as u desgribed and its the last stage of bruised in color...yellowish now...... (((HUG))) sorry you have to go back in for this ! BE STRONG, i bet once your a big looser it wont have mattered as much. GOOD LUCK

Hi Kathy! I have not experienced anything like that. I know you know all this but it is hard to remember when we get nervous or scared about something....It sounds like it is something that can be taken care of relatively easy. Thank goodness for that! Complications do happen. We just hope for minor ones or none at all. So let's just assume this is more minor than major. Keep your chin up and don't lose sight of the big picture. I wish you well. Keep us posted. Diane

Diane: I go in to doc's office at 8, it can be fluid from the surgery and can be removed almost painless, but the worst it could be a hernia growing, I will keep you guys in formed as I find out my self. Kathy
