Does all drs leave tubes after surgery or only some im sooo scared of the tubes

I came out of surgery with No drainage tube :-)

My dr gave me a 50/50 chance of a drain depending on how my tummy was doing after surgery.

I woke up from surgery not needing one. Discuss this with your surgeon...he should be more than willing to answer all of your concerns.

Good luck with your surgery!!

Thank you so much i will talk to my dr i really dont want the tubes im thinking he dosent since he said i will go home the next morning

My surg doesn't use drainage tubes so glad he doesn't- just tiny cute incisions

My dr said he makes 4 small incisions i dont think he uses them but i will ask

I don't expect to have any tubes with this surgery. Last fall I had two kidney surgeries a week apart, and had a drain in my back during that week. Didn't really feel it for the most part, but I did have to be careful about how I slept and moved. The only time it bothered me was when they had to move it (I was still in the hospital) because it was placed too far in, and they didn't numb the area at all. IMHO, the catheter was much worse.
