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!

Surgery is tomorrow, October 5, 2010

Well, I made it. Oh my goodness! It hurt more than I expected. I had my drainage tube removed today. It hurt, but was not unbearable. Stay in touch, y'all. Gotta run. I'll check in later! -
I am having surgery tomorrow, October 5, 2010. I don't know anyone who has ever had this type of surgery (only lap band and bypass). I would like a buddy who has either "been there" or is going to have it done around the same time as me. Thanks, TeeElle
