Yes!!! I'm on the drainage IV cord tube now. I have surgery last Monday. But my seromas surgery doctor takes some out. But stitches inside and glue from the outside but it still look lump to me. I don't know what the nurse going to do to me after he or she take off the drainage. Are they going to drainage more fluids out of me. And I'm like bloated, swollen and even my face, neck, my shoulders, stomach, legs and feet are swollen due the seromas. When I'm going to be back to normal. Please help and pray for me.
