I had one build up after a recent hip operation and how it was managed was by needle aspiration and compression wrap. My OS has also placed me in an abdominal binder for 4-6 wks to ensure battery stays in place and to prevent this fluid (seroma) buildup. I certainly hope it resolves quickly one way or another so that you can benefit by this amazing technology.
Wishing you the best,

Where did you get an abdominal binder? Every binder I've gotten keeps riding up and making it worse instead of better.
