Tummy Tuck on Halloween

[farmgirl04 231]

Just had my first post op, later than usual due to my mother's passing. I lost one of my drains, the other one is still producing too much to remove. I see him again next Tuesday. Hopefully the remaining drain will come out then. Otherwise, everything is looking good!

I had mine done November 13th and I just had the drains removed last Tuesday.... January 7th I believe. One drain produced more than the other but he left them in together. They were both under 15 per day. It makes more sense to leave them in rather than needle aspiration.

Do you "milk" the drains?? The blood clots in the tubing and you need to hold the tubing and squeeze and pull the crap down into the drain. I did that a lot to keep them flowing properly.

Oh yes I milk the drains all the time. I just have a pocket that will not heal. I haven't done anything wrong, it us just one of those odd complications that can't be explained why.
