It means it went almost all the way around my torso. There is only about 5 inches that didn't get cut. Those tubes are drains, & I can only assume they just drain the gross blood from the inside? I have to empty them every 12 hours. They are probably the most annoying thing about my TT. But I get them out on Monday!

the tubing is called a jackson-pratt drain...basically they collect excess fluid. Why is this important? Because excess fluid may cause you to heal improperly or can start an infection
