Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted August 19, 2012 It doesn't sound normal to me. Strange that you still have your drain 10 days out. When are you do to get it out? I would call him just to be sure. Don't worry they will help you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuckles 28 Posted August 19, 2012 It may not be a bad idea to call the after hours number and see what they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using VST I would say call your Dr better safe than sorry. I'm 6 days out and my right side where incision is still very sore. That's the side they pulled the stomach out. Just walk and take pain meds I promise it will get better. My drain was taken out before I left hospital but once your dr removes it that area will feel better. I have heard of some people going home with drains I wouldn't worry much but still ask dr about it...feel better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anndemstng 7 Posted August 19, 2012 Today is day 20 out for me I had the same issue at day 7, went by ambulance to the hospital, ended up the drain aggravated the abdominal wall and cause hemmoraging, after a ct and 3 days in the hospital everything was back to normal. I wish you luck and a speedy recovery! Trust your doctor, they are the best ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEZ1975 170 Posted August 19, 2012 I find it interesting that every surgeon is so different! I didn't have a drain. I wonder why? Sounds like I didn't miss out though :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
