Fuild in abdomen area ascites

Hi there, well my father does have extreme lymphedema in which he is suffering from pleural effusions.
I have a new question: Does anyone or has anyone every suffered from fluid in their abdomen area? He got his lung area drained on Friday and his breathing is better, but when you bends over his stomach is large and he is bloated there.
He also has had issues with a non functioning gallbladder and we are in the mist of trying to get him cleared to have it out.
He was admitted the first week of Sept. 09 for jaundice due to a blocked bile duct, so this may just be gallbladder related. I sort of think so, since he also still gets bouts of nausea.
Thanks
