3 1/2 moonths po/tt tissue swelling

I had my panni removed, with 3 hernia's repaired with muscle tighening on 8/27/04. I did have a seroma drained last month, and the ultrasound showed a very small on on the left side of about only 2 cc too small to worry about draining. I am still wearing my binder durring the daytime, but if I go without it for even 4 hours my left front side swells, the whole mid to lower quadrant, and it is very noticable to everyone, and I can feel the seroma but its not painful like before. The skin on that side hangs lower, do I wonder if since my muscles are pulled so tight and the skin so loose that it may be too much skin to adhear properly. I should have had an anchor incesion to pull the sides tight. I can feel its not adheared and I cant lay on my tummy either, and I can fill my skin move over the muscle layer. I know it takes time to heal, but is it possible that the skin my be too much or loose to adhear and I need a revision? Could this be medicaly necessary and the insurance cover it. Thanks sorry so long, I just wanted everyone to understand. My protien intake is good and I do take my vitamins daily. Rosemary
