Hi everyone- I'm home again. I had developed a seroma (fluid) under my incision, and when it stopped draining, it built up and started becoming infected. I caught it as it was happening, and was at the hospital as the first fever developed. On 7/9, my 7th day postop, my surgeon re-opened my incision to the fascial layer and drained, then packed it. That was the routine, plus IV antibiotics, for the next 3 days. I am released on oral antibiotics and doing daily wound care on the abdominal incision which *may* be re-closed around 7/22 (that's the icky part). I'm still doing well, and ready to walk and resume work next week. The good news? No sepsis, and weight loss thusfar of 28lbs/11 days. Joy to you all wherever you are on the journey.
