Does anyone have any advice for taking care of a seroma?

I have an appointment to see my surgeon this coming Wednesday. It seems I have developed a small seroma on the incision site (where my JP drain was). :( I know it's a seroma as I've read various things about it on the web and my surgeon's nurse says it's most likely that. Am I going to have to take antibiotics? Is he going to cut my incision open again? Help! As I said, so far it's a small seroma (small but yucky and draining quite a bit). Thanks much, Anna LAP RNY 7/3/02 -40 pounds
