mumwithnobum 0 Posted September 5, 2010 Hi I know I'm pretty early to ask ,but is there anyone getting sleeved in November? I'm traveling 7th Nov having surgery at the OOC with Dr Ortiz and then traveling back the 14th as he wants you to stay until the drain is out. Hoping there are some others out there.

NinaX 6 Posted September 5, 2010 Yep, 1st November is my date (done in Stockholm, Sweden where I live). Curious about this drain you mention? I have not heard or read about any drain for the op I'm having done?! Why and where is this placed? :confused1: 1 Filosophia Scandinavia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkangel68 0 Posted September 5, 2010 I too am having my surgery in Nov, at OOC with Dr. Ortiz. I am doing my surgery week of Thanksgiving.. I have been on this site daily readying everything I can. I almost changed surgeons but decided to stick with Dr. Ortiz, he seems the most qualified. It is such a tough decision. I am ready to do it now , I hate having to wait. I love readying everyones post, there is sooooo much support on these forums its amazing.. Good luck and I hope to keep up with your success.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have not heard or read about any drain for the op I'm having done?! Why and where is this placed? :confused1: The doctor's place a drain tube under the skin in the abdomen through one of the ports used for surgery, so any fluid/blood can exit the body. My doctor removed mine on day 3, I think as long as your not draining a ton of Fluid they can remove it rather quickly. The rest of the Fluid then is absorbed by your body. I had one on each side of my stomach when I had a Tummy Tuck. I got those out around day 7. :biggrin2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
