MY MOTHER HAD OPEN RNY ON MARCH 26TH. SHE STAYED IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 6 DAYS BECAUSE

HER KIDNEYS WOULDNT FUNCTION PROPERLY AT FIRST. SHE ACTUALLY GAINED 25 POUNDS IN THOSE SIX DAYS. A FEW DAYS AFTER COMMING HOME, HER INCISION BURST OPEN AND FLUID DRAINED LIKE CRAZY. AT THE SURGEONS OFFICE, THEY DRAINED ABOUT A LITER OF FLUID. IT IS NOW OVER TWO MONTHS LATER AND HER BODY IS STILL MAKING THIS ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FLUID, SO MUCH SO THAT SHE HAS AN OPEN WOUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INCISION LINE. THIS HAS BEEN HEALING SLOWLY, BUT THE FLUID HAS BUILT UP AND OTHER SPOTS ARE NOW LEAKING. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS? WHAT DID THEY DO TO STOP THE FLUID? HELP!!! SHE FEELS SICK ALL THE TIME FROM THE FLUID BUILD UP IN HER ABDOMEN AND CANNOT CONVINCE THE SURGEON THAT THE FLUID HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NAUSEA. THIS IS GROSE, BUT AFTER IT GUSHES OUT, SHE FEELS IMMEDIATE RELIEF. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.
