JamieLynn77 1 Posted January 4, 2011 I can't believe that I am only 7 days out to surgery. The liquid diet is definitely getting easier. Thank goodness since I will be on it a while, right? I noticed though that i gained a few pounds this week. Thats kinda wierd since I'm not eating anything. kinda discouraging but I am pushing on. I keep hearing about this drain they put in. Can someone tell me how long they leave that in? Sounds painful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klus263 9 Posted January 4, 2011 I only had a drain after surgery and it was removed before I left the hospital. It wasn't too bad when they removed it but I do have a higher tolerance of pain. I just breathed in and out slowly while she did it. (lamaze if you ever had kids) I know others said they go home with one so you may want to ask your doctor what is their standard of practice regarding a drain.
