Anyone have drainage from their incision past 5 months out from Open RNY?

Hi all! Can anyone tell me if their open RNY incision still drained after 5 months? Can you tell me if there is a trick to get the drainage to stop for good. My drainage had stopped 2 weeks ago ( at 4 1/2 months out) and my incision healed up nicely, but low and behold I got a terrible build up of drainage this past weekend and I treated it as you would a seroma and my incision opened back up at the very bottom to drain it out, but my surgeon says he has seen patients that have drained as long as 8 months. It is not infected either. I do take albuteral inhailer as needed (everyday) and ursodiol for my gallbadder to keep from getting gallstones, but that is about it for meds. Please, I would love to hear from people who had this problem only from their original Open RNY, but all suggestions and input are greatly appreciated. Thanks, and God Bless You all no matter where you are in your journey.:) Open RNY 4/21/03~278/191/...128?
