    A tube in your stomach that allows excess fluids drain out.

    I almost vomited when they pulled mine out. I am very uneasy with internal sensations like that.

    I have one and wonder for what purpose? Does anyone know why?

    Fluid that collects inside the body can increase the chance of infection or other complications.

    The drain reduces any fluid that may accumulate near your surgical site.
