Hey, all! I just had my surgery on the 13th of this month (July, 2015). I stayed a little over 24 hours in the hospital and did very well in recovery, so they let me go home after only 1 day. This week, on July 22nd, I had my 1-week post-op appointment to get my JP Drainage Tube taken out. Everything went well; I experienced virtually no pain and just a small amount of discomfort when they were taking out my stitches. My question comes from the drainage that I'm still experiencing. I am experiencing a lot of drainage! I have purchased super-absorbent abdominal pads to soak the drainage up, but am having to change it several times a day (that's how much drainage I have). Other than the AMOUNT of drainage I'm having, everything is fine. My drainage color is still "good" - light/clear orange/pink, and there is no infection at the site. My vitals are good (I get them done once a day as I work in a medical facility, haha). Has anyone experienced this massive amount of excess draining? How long until it slowed? Thanks in advance! <3
