Awesome well I'll be sure to let you know how it goes (:

I was wondering when and where do Dr. Gracias patients get their drains removed. Also once at hotel does a dr. Check on you or who is there for his patients in case you need more meds. Basically what's the after care like once you get to hotel. Just rest rest rest and walking????

Great question

Really good question!! I was wondering the same, especially about the drain.

The drain is removed the day u are discharged from the hospital. They will give you meds to take with you for pain, antibiotics, and acid reflux. The day before you are scheduled to leave Tijuana. They will come to remove your staples. They will also give you instructions for how to care for your wounds. There isn't anyone at the hotel with you as far as medical goes. But it's really not needed. I personally felt great and did lots of walking. If you do need some sort of help or advice you can have the hotel call them at the hospital for you.

Thanks for the informative response. :) which hurts more staples being removed or the drain? Just the thought of the drain gives me the chills. Totally dreading it:(

Neither of them hurts while being removed. The drain feels very weird but doesn't hurt. I honestly only had pain the day of surgery and the day after. Every other day since has been getting better and better. My pain was only during the time I had the drain.

Yup' date=' great question cindy! Waiting for reply too[/quote']
