I had a prophylactic bmx with diep

Flap

Reconstruction dec 5th. I was so excited because things seemed to be going so well. 10 days out I suddenly started bleeding heaving and developed a hematoma. This required a second surgery. I have been having no problems. Now my drain has almost stopped draining and stitches are starting to come out. I am now experiencing bloody seepage from a few of the stitches. I live 4 hours away from the hospital and my locaL medical center literally refuses any treatment since I chose to have surgery elsewhere. I will be calling the dr in the morning but just seeing what others think
