What's the reason for the drainage tube for so long?

I had one, but it was removed the next day following surgery, after the removal, I received relief, I couldn't have made it if I had to go home with it but ive read a lot of people say they went home with one.

I was told to never inject in the stomach, I was told to do it in my thighs, to switch up each day.

Yes all RNY patients are placed on this for 12 weeks or more along with blood thinners, glade your on your way home yaayyyy!!

The way my neck look, I might of had robotic surgery, lol..just kidding...my neck is sore.

My team is wonderful, they had me to come in, checked me out, did a blood test to make sure Im not bleeding on the inside, I have to go back tomorrow, they are monitoring my blood levels, my hemroids may have been irritated, so far Im passing gas without the blood. I wonder how long does it take for the gas to be gone?

Yeah that anesthesia was a monster, it took me awhile to come out, I didn't like it, my throat is very sore due to that.

You will feel much better once it's removed.

June 10th, was my surgery, did anyone experience red stuff in their stool the first time you were able to go? And sometimes with the gas? Today was my first time using it and passing gas, it looked like blood but I don't know could also be that barium stuff.

I got a question, I apologize in advance, you know how you are gassy when you come home? Did any of you pass red stuff along with the gas at times? It looks like blood though.

Hello everyone, Im officially on the losers bench, my surgery was Monday, June 10th, I'm doing ok, I have alot off mucus build up I guess from anastcian, Im scared to eat,I don't want to hurt, but I got to, one thing for sure I was surrounded by a great team, Dr. Cahill and Tony Romano, they are the best. Well talk to you ask later. Peace

I feel your pain, I was on liquid diet yesterday and omg, that was hard...just keep the faith, you can do it.

Good morning, that's what I want to hear, I have to be at the hospital at 11:30 am, I'm feeling at peace and I'm not that nervous thanks to you all. Thanks for all the prayers, encouragement, and support. I will keep you guys posted.
