Drainage Bag

What do you do with your drainage bag when you shower? I am afraid to let it dangle.

    That's a good idea!! Right now I pin it to my clothes to keep it from dangling but obviously I would not have anything to pin it to in the shower!

I let mine dangle and I am a huge baby when it comes to pain. It did not hurt to shower.

ok, i will let it dangle. I just don't want it to irritate my tummy and cause swelling.

I emptied it and then let it dangle... no problems.....

Some people don't have a drain bag. A friend of mine had the sleeve after me and she did not have one. Long story short, it is a small suction bulb that removes the blood/drainage after the sleeve surgery.
