How long did u have them!?!?

I had one drain and it was removed just prior to my discharge from the hospital which was two days after surgery. Getting it removed didn't hurt at all.. He just had me take a deep breath and exhale as hard as I could and the drain was out before I even knew it.

No drain here...

Before i was discharged also...

I didn't have a drain!

They took it out the next day

No drain either!

About a week. Didn't hurt at all.

I have one too for a week (well it'll be a week tmo). It's in the way because I can't wear a bra glad I'm off

Had it just over a week. All depends on your surgeon's protocol.

I had my drain for a week as well.. I could wear a bra my surgeon put the incisions in the perfect spots:) I had to empty it twice a day and record the fluid:) drains are a good thing.. It helps get rid of excess fluid in you abdomen

No drain. Just curious@prettyinpink, how much fluid did you have over a week's time?

No drain!! Thank god..

Each day was a little different but on average each day was between 1-2 oz. the interesting thing was the consistency/ color.. Each day it got lighter/ more clear. By the time the day came to get it taken out at the dr. Office it's was really clear and only lightly tinted red.. It felt like worm with pressure when the dr pulled it out.

I had my drain for the duration of my hospital stay which was 4 days 3 nights. I couldn't feel it when it was in, well you sort of can when you walk around but it was no biggie.

I was really nervous to get mine out just because it freaks me out. Anyway my nurse was so good, I had my eyes closed when she took it out and a few mins later she was like why are you still closing your eyes? I took it out 5 mins ago!! I couldn't believe it I was like, but I didn't feel a thing!! The nurse was laughing so much because I had worked myself up and got nervous for nothing, coz in the end I didn't even feel it haha
