Thank you for sharing your experience……I am hopeful that this nightmare is nearing a resolution…..I too have lost over 40 lbs and am pretty weak. Will be getting Drain check today……have had goood flow for past week and no fever……a big improvement……..and I seem to be able to eat more frequently and consume more at each meal.

Great! Sounds like you’re moving in the right direction. Will be hoping for continued healing and a good drain visit today!

Sounds like you are hitting the "recovery" stage--the pockets of fluid seem to hit most people and its a fright and a shock because no Dr warns !!
its now Aug & my operation was 28th Oct--diabetes, lost a bit of weight but able to walk 3000 steps per day now. Feeling almost normal and you will too soon.
Be patient with yourself
Best of luck & health to you
