Talk with your doc and expect to be prescribed a diuretic. I'm surprised you weren't prescribed one in the hospital.

Is one kg over 2 lbs? Some people have to go in periodically to have the fluid drained, I think, but you should probably check that out yourself.

I have been on the maximum dose diuretic for months, otherwise swelling would be worse.

I haven't had that, Sandy. Your doctor needs to know about this though.
