LovinCheryl 22 Posted March 19, 2013 Did everyone have to go home with one? If so, how long was in? Did it leave a scar? I will not see my doctor until next week, so inquiring Cheryl's wanna know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted March 19, 2013 I few have had to go home with one. I only had mine for a day and a half but there was a good size hole left when it came out. Strangely, though it's healed up like a teeny birthmark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted March 19, 2013 I had mine in for two days and they took it out right before I got out of the hospital. Mine is healing up nicely and you can't even tell the tube was there..it's just like a line like my other incisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taradawn15 148 Posted March 19, 2013 I had mine for 4 days and it left a very small scar, I barely can see it now at 5 months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kari61 128 Posted March 19, 2013 Why do some Dr's use a drainage tube and others dont? My doctor said he doesn't thank goodness.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soocalchic 1,087 Posted March 19, 2013 I had a drain for 8 days it was uncomfortable the whole time it was in.. I felt a whole lot better when they took it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TexasMiss 314 Posted March 19, 2013 I had a drain for two days, and it didn't bother me. My IV annoyed me more. Now, I'm not going to lie. It was very unpleasant when the removed it. I swear it was attached to my ovaries because I felt it all the way down between my legs! LOL 8-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
