If it were draining fat, I would have asked to keep it in longer! lol

That's good ....yes work work towards Ur goal I can't wait for my surgery ......

Vix,

I recommend that you take a safety pin to the hospital so that you can pin the drain to your gown. I didn't and wished I would have! It is better when it doesn't dangle. Also, bring a lanyard so when you take a shower you can hook the drain to the lanyard and put it around your neck so it isn't bouncing off of your legs.
