Flipped port...i now have a seroma?

I had the band placed October 29th, first fill Nov. 29th, had trouble finding port, thought they accessed port, but I felt no restriction. Port was accessed in January for the first time (after a 15 min. ordeal), then my port flipped. Had surgery on March 16th, to flip it back, site was very bulbous and swollen. On the first MD visit after the revision the steri-strips were removed, site had large amt. of blood tinged fluid leaking for 3 hours after leaving MD's office (soaked up 3 large abdominal pads). Site decreased in size after leakage, then stopped leaking. 4 days later went for a fill under fluoroscopy, MD pulled out over 20 cc bloody fluid from lower abd. Now my site is back swollen and bulbous, he told me I had a seroma (fluid filled area), now I think its back, because the site is swollen and bulbous again. Has anyone had this problem. In some of the information they say I may need a drain, if the fluid keeps coming back...I do not want that. My stomach is big, and it's not gas
