Your symptoms are not normal. It does sound like an infection. Do you have any leg pains. SOB and rapid heart rate is concerning. Hopefully if you have not seen your PS today you have gon to ER.

ok so besides the seroma, that the doctor wasnt able to get any fluid from aspriation. (and it seems like instead of having 2 little seroma locations (one on each side of my belly button) it just seems like it got bigger and longer. ...

the last few days ive been SEVERELY freezing. nothing i do can make me warm, except for hopping into super hot shower... chills constantly, or sweaty at times. somewhat short of breath...last night after going into basement to switch laundry, i came back upstairs and had to sit for a little bit, cuz my heart was racing and i was out of breath. no fever. took temp this morning. it was 97.2. i saw the PS last thursday for the seroma and had mentioned how ive been dizzy, (alot), and that ive also had diarrhea...he told me to just stop taking the antibiotic. ok, fine. but im still freezing..turned the heat up to like 75 degrees, got a sweater on, and covered up with a sherpa blanket, yet im still freezing :( im concerned about sepsis or some sort of infection perhaps. :( gonna call PS at 9 and see what he thinks. anyone else have these issues? i looked online and sepsis with tummy tuck is very rare apparently, however i did also have brachioplasty and both procesures had lipo. so, idk. I got ZERO sleep last night...either from sweating, itching, or just trying to find some sort of comfy position. my sides still hurt so im still forced to sleep on my back.

Just wanting to know if these things are normal, or something to be alarmed about.

This gives me hope!

Sorry I didnt respond sooner. Yes i had pain meds. Ive been off them for about a week now or so. Drains have been taken out also.

My issue now is still the itchiness. Ive been taking benadryl but it doesnt seem to fully help :(

Also, I have a seroma near bellly button area. dr tried aspirating it last friday, but its still there. I have another appointment with him this coming friday. I hope i dont have to have it aspirated again. that HURT LIKE HELL. omg! Ive looked online to see if there is any home remedies for seromas, and i found that alot of people recomment moist heat, and they swear it makes it go away. Has anyone else tried this? Does it really work?

The worst for me was that my glute muscles itched under numb freaking skin. it's hard to describe the feeling, but it was awful. It will still happen on occasion and you can't scratch it.
