Drain or no drain?

I am really surprised over the people who were done as outpatient!

Hi. I had a drain and it was removed at my 1 week appointment which was actually 6 days after my surgery. Don't worry if you have to have one...other than pinning the little tab that is attached to your clothes so it doesn't pull, it wasn't an issue. Good luck!

I was outpatient as it was 23 hour stay, but I was overnight.

I had a drain it was attached to a tube that was above my insisions and had a squeeze ball at the end of it. They took it out on the third day. I remember the doc said before he took it ou that this won't hurt but it might feel a little weird. He was right hard to explain I just don't want to do it again. Lol..

My surgeon said he doesn't use drains

I had a drain while in the hospital but then they took it out before discharge. The feeling of having the drain pulled out was the strangest thing ever!!! Like a worm in your insides!!!

My surgeon only uses drains for bypass, none for sleeves. Was released from hospital next day.
