Re: Chelee, how are you feeling and did you see a new surgeon in OC?
Cal Gal,
Yes I did see a new breast surgeon in OC. I couldn't of been more pleased with him if I wanted too. He was great! I have a large seroma in my chest that causes me alot of discomfort/pain & I want it drained. I had it drained twice over 3 1/2 yrs ago and it was a relief...but eventually filled back up in time. This BS was awesome...such a nice guy....and best yet answered all my questions. He said there is no reason not to drain it...and if it fills back up within six months we will drain it again. Whatever it takes. 
Thanks for checking on me...that's so nice of you.
Chelee
