Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Hi gang, Went yesterday to my plastic surgeon for another follow-up from my hernia/tt on 10-9-02. Seems my bod just won't quit producing fluid...and I have a nice little " paunch " below my newly formed flat tummy, full of fluid...yuck. I don't have much pain from it...just feel like I'm swollen. Dr. tried to use a syring to suck it out, but none came out. I've prolly been doing too much activity. Dang, I can be stubborn and not know how to slow myself down....grrrrr. I've not done the vacuuming or digging flowers (like last year...that's what helped me get the darn hernia to begin with), but I don't know how to MAKE myself lay down and rest during the day. When will I learn???! The dr. said my body will just have to absorb this fluid, but it will take time. Anybody else been through this?? I've been wearing my binder 24/7 , and I only take it off to shower. My incision looks good...no oozing of anything. What can I do to help myself??? I guess I've already answered my own question....REST! Thanks for letting me ramble, L in Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
