swelling is a seroma

[Mrs Firth 1]

Yesterday I posted that I had a swelling around my op wound and asked if this was normal. People on here suggested I see my doc which I did. It is a seroma and it seems it is not infected, thank goodness. It should go down of its own accord eventually but if it hasn't by my due date to have my saline injected, that will have to wait. Thanks for your help....and if anyone is worrying post-op, I really recommend going to the doc. If the site is infected, the band may need to be removed so best not to wait too long or take chances.

Thanks a lot...I too have got swelling in the third week and was getting worried....

since there is no pain there is no infection...and maybe a few changes in the diet have caused it...

thanks again...

I developed an infection on my port site which then turned into a seroma... Which now has caused my port to flip :-( I'm worried about having to have surgery again because it was rough for me the first go around. Did your seroma get better all on it's own?
