Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I have a question that pertains to my outpatient surgery on 9-21. Since I got home from the hospital, I noticed that I had a collection of fluid in my lower abdomen. The fluid is just above my hips and across my stomach. If I press on it (which is painful), I can actually see waves. I don't know if this is something I should be concerned about. I did call my surgeon's office, and the nurse said that some swelling was normal but she didn't seem to knowledgeable about it. I go back to my surgeon's office on Wednesday for my post op appointment. Has anyone had this happen to them? or know anything about fluid build up in the stomache?? I am wondering if it is just from the surgery or if it is from the pancreatitis attack I had in the recovery room. Any comments??
