It should be time for your one month post op visit right? If not call the doctor. I was retaining tons of fluids and on my one month post op was put on a water pill, which I'm still taking at 7 weeks out.

i have started retaining the Fluid after my first visit. waiting for my docto's office to get back to me. did they order labs before they put you on Water pill or did they do a phase contrast study to see if there was a block in the stomach ? also are you taking Biotin supplement ? thank you for responding to my questions. truly appreciate it

@@supriya I was on water pills before being scheduled for surgery, but had not taken it during my pre op or for the month after surgery. When she saw my legs and ankles she told me to start back on them. So, no. No test was done and the only biotin I'm getting is the little amount in my daily multi vitamin. Hope that helps.
