Seroma: Take 2 (or 3...)

Well, I was back to the surgeon today. He drained my seromas again--only got 35cc or so out of each side. We are going to try to drain them once a week or so for a few weeks and then if they aren't completely resolved we will probably do the sclerotherapy to try to get them to collapse. I'm currently wearing a spanx in addition to my abdominal binder low on my hips. Really comfy I tell you, but better than a stupid drain.

Just wanted to update. It seems they are trying to ease up, so hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Hope everyone is well!

Unreal!! On a bright note, at least it isn't summertime while you are wearing the spanx! Good luck!

I will say that the timing of my surgery for avoiding the heat was perfect. I can't imagine having had binders and garments in the heat. UGH!

Thanks!!

I'm so sorry you have having seroma issues. I'm hoping they resolve quickly for you.

I've actually learned to love my spanx....believe it or not! I fought like hell, not wanting to wear them and now I don't like the feeling of not wearing them....lol. Anything to be contrary I guess.

Prayers for fast healing coming your way

Thanks for the prayers!! Lord knows (pun intended!) I need them! If my spanx don't roll (got the high waisted ones) I actually like the support too, especially on my thighs. I really hated them when I first got them. Not as much now. It is just a bit much with the binder and boob strap too. This too shall pass!
