General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. i am Dr Shareef answering your query.

You have not given the details for what pathology were you operated. Without knowing the details the only thing I could suggest you is to see your surgeon at the earliest for a review and not to depend on the answers over the net for this problem.There has to be a source of fluid in the abdomen either related to the present surgery, or a new source inside the abdomen.

Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
