Hi all....I keep forgetting to ask my vet so I thought I would throw it out their to people with experience. At the bottom across his mid-section. Not big but it's there. Vet says its normal for a guy his size. I just keep forgetting to ask how long will it be their.
Post-op seromas are indeed common. If you haven't already reviewed these posts, you may find them helpful

If there is too much fluid to reabsorb, you may have to have it drained. We did that once with Jerry. Some vets opt to insert a drain. The links above will help you know when a seroma goes bad, which is rare but can happen.
Hope this helps.
