Does everyone have a drain after surgery?

[Doxie Mom of 3 6]

I had medial gastric bypass and did not have a drain. But I do remember my drain from my gall bladder surgery and it was a pain to deal with and painful period.

I had RNY and a drain while I was in the hospital (2days). Painful while in and some pain for the healing. Use a gauze pad over it while it is still healing.

I had RNY and I had a drain after surgery, but only while I was in the hospital. They pulled mine out when I was being discharged.
