Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Should be resolving: You have had a recent evaluation by your surgeon which is reassuring. Monitor for fever, nausea, vomiting, persistent or increasing swelling/bloating, if that is the case, call or see your surgeon again. Walk around as tolerated, which may assist the swelling to subside
