Fluid drawn off today!
I am 3 wks out from a TT with muscle repair. I have continued to run a fever up to 101.8. I called my PS today to let him know and he wanted to see me. Well, I go in and dang if I don't have fluid build up in my lower belly! He drew off almost 600cc's of fluid! Thank goodness it was a good color and had no smell. He's sending it off for a culture anyway. He said he would probably pull more fluid off next week at my next checkup.
Whew! Has anyone else had to go thru this?

My mom (not a WLS patient) had a tummy tuck 3 months ago. She is still having to be drained. Today made her 17th time. Her surgeon is pretty stumped. He almost put a drain back in today. This week she started showing signs of infection. We should find out tomorrow if she is infected and what kind it is.
He has been doing TTs for 30 years and this is the first time he has had to drain someone so much. I hope I haven't scared you. I was just letting you know what is going on with her.

I already have a good amount of fluid build up again and he just drained me friday. I'm gonna call his office tomorrow and see if he wants to see me sooner than Wed. I knew that seromas were common after this surgery but was hoping I wouldnt have this problem. That does sound very unusual for someone that's 3 mos out to still be having that much drainage. I'm curious to see what's that all about.
Good news is my fever hasn't gone over 99 since friday!
