      I had mine in for 2.5 days. She removed it in about 3 seconds. For me, the idea of having a drain in was much worse than having one in.

    I didn't have a drain or a catheter. Each surgeon has their way of doing things. I was concerned about this too. I called my surgeons office and he explained he didn't use catheters/drains.
