Should I get her 'drained'?

When Lucy got spayed a month or so ago the vet 'drained' her because she was full of fluid. He said this is just how she stores her energy and it's nothing to worry about, but I've noticed she seems very full of fluid again. Should I get her 'drained' again?
 
I have never heard of a rabbit being drained except for something like a fluid filled cyst. The only time I know of rabbits having a build up of fluid is when they have a tumour or heart problem :? So would be very interested in what your vet thinks it is for Lucy, always out to learn something new :)
 
He said it's just the way she stores her energy. I didn't go to pick her up, I was at work, OH did so it might not be fluid :? I was a bit baffled too as I always thought a fluid build up was something really bad!
