JP drains?

[beautiful_alarms 12]

For any of you helpful people that have already had surgery - how many of you (if any) ended up with a JP drain? I had one after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and I hated it! I called it my "gore grenade" and I felt miserable going out in public with it and had to safety pin it to the shower curtain! Such a hassle.. I just want to be prepared for it again if necessary. Thanks!

Yeah! I guess the drain wasn't AWFUL.. just.. inconvenient? A hassle? A bit gross? Hah.. I'm happy to learn that I most likely won't have one on Friday!

I had a drain, minor inconvience at most. It was removed at my 1 week follow-up. It does feel wierd when they remove it but it did not hurt.

I was told my surgeon keeps a drain in for a week. I have a toddler and hope she doesn't pull on it,

I too, had a drain for the first week. After it was removed it felt

like my life had just begun. My doctor said he likes to see what's going on inside. Good luck!
