Every doctor is different. The hospital I had it done at is used by many different bariatric doctors, and they said that most of the doctors remove the drainage tube before the patient leaves the hospital, but my doctor prefers to do it a week later.

Had my one week check-up. They removed the drainage tube. That smarted, a little, but I am so happy to not have to walk around with a tube hanging out of my stomach. According to the doctor's records, I've lost 15 pounds. Yay!
