I had a TT on 12/28 and developed a large seroma, draining over 1000cc per day.

On Jan. 29th I had to go back for a revison since the tissue wasn't sticking down due to the seroma, and also had dehised at belly button. The recovery was going ok after that, My incison did dihise at the bottom approx. 1 inch wide, but very deep. The problem is that even with packing I get large amounts of air into my tissue that becomes very uncomfortable, I have to bend over and press the air out, like I'm an intertube. My doctor seems at a loss about this, says this is uncharted territory for him. After two months off, I went back to work this week. I am a RN and work 12 hour shifts. The first day went well, but today I just keep filling with air. The drainage has slowed down but not stopped. I am getting so depressed and my doctor seems to not know what to do with me. Has this air thing happened to anyone else. Help I need input!!!!!!!!!
