Reoccuring Abscesses. Why am I getting abscesses after a year post-op?

I had an open RNY June10th, 1999 and have been getting abscesses over and over again for the last 8 months. I have been to numerous doctors about this and all they can tell me is that it is not in my abdominal cavity but just below the skin surface. These 2 abscesses won't close and I have alot of drainage. It is driving me crazy. I have lost so much weight and still packing and bandaging myself up every day. Can anyone give me some insight as to what could be causing this to happen?
