Seroma??
Current mood: worried/scared
I just called the surgeons office this morning after finding a golf ball sized mass under my biggest incision from RNY gastric bypass. I was worried that it was some oddly-placed hernia but the nurse I spoke with more or less assured me that it was likely a "seroma". I have an appointment with my surgeon on the 10th (in one week). I asked if this issue would be okay until then or if I would have to try to get in sooner. She said that more than likely it would be okay to wait but she will discuss all of this with the surgeon and call me back...
Doesn't help that I have MTHFR to worry about... worried that this might have ties to that blood clotting disorder...
Waiting patiently...

I just got a call from the nurse at the surgeon's office. She let me know that she spoke with my surgeon and he is okay with waiting to see me until my appointment next week. He thinks that it is either the seroma or simply scar tissue that has built up. Time will tell...
