Seroma
Hi Chelee. I'm sorry it is so uncomfortable having the seroma. I had one last for quite a while too, mostly because my surgeon wasn't in Alaska and I was... when I did go to Seattle eventually he drained it as best he could but it can take a while to disappear completely.
Incidentally, I had a CT in my hometown when I still had the seroma, and the rads doc there said in his report that I had a prosthesis .... He didn't recognize it was just a seroma... I have never been able to get that report corrected. My PCP even went so far as to verify with my surgeon that I have no prosthesis.
Anyway, I do sympathize. It sounds like the surgeon doesn't want to continue to poke you when the site is going to take time to heal and would just fill up with fluid again.
As ever,
AlaskaAngel
