I totally freaked out about the drain too. My Dr. used one, but took it out the next day. He said it's not only for collecting fluid, but can also show signs of a leak. The drain definitely does NOT hurt coming out- it's just a really weird sensation, and it's over once it's out. They didn't put any stitches of glue on it, just covered it with gauze. I took the gauze off a few days later, and it's completely healed up- just a little scabbing.

Hi Everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery Tuesday, December 30th. I have a work from home desk job. I know most forums say return to work after around two weeks, but do you think I would be well enough to sit at a desk (or in bed with a computer) by the following Monday (Jan 5th)? Thanks in advance!

Hi all! I just found this forum- I'm glad to see such a great support network! I will send a request on Facebook too! I am scheduled for surgery on December 30th!

Thanks for the advice! I manage events that take place in the summer, so winter is pretty slow and I will have plenty of breaks- I just need to have my computer up and running and be connected to email and company instant messaging.
