Hi

I had my surgery on July 24th and I'm still in the hospital because of complications. I originally came out with no drains or anything. Two days later after my second surgery I had:

Ok' date=' sounds interesting as I was in Hospital for 2 days and Fluid collected all the time. Would like to hear from anyone who had a tubeless operation.[/quote']

My sister had an extended hospital stay. I had a drain tube and removal was no big deal. Quick and easy.

I didnt

My surgery is in October. I haven't talked to Dr. yet but I don't want one. Fifteen years ago I had an appendix burst on me, they put in a drain, I was in the hospital six weeks with drain and it was the only thing painful. It hurt coming out and to this day I can touch the spot it was at and I get weak.

UPDATE: I did have a drain tube. It was removed 5 days later when i had to have emergency surgery to fix an incisional hernia. I was out like a light...so didn't feel it...Thankfully :)
