I think it depends on the surgeon you use. I did not have a drain, but I have heard from some on here who have. Check with your surgeon to see if they use them or not.

I've been told that I won't have a urinary catheter or a drain. My surgeon said that I will be up walking within 2-3 hours of surgery.

No drain here. It was one of the questions I asked in my consult. The thought of a drain scared me so I was so glad I didn't need one. I'm sure asking your doc would put your mind at ease. Good luck!

I didn't have a drain, another person on my floor that had surgery with a different Dr had a drain. The only difference I can see it that she seemed to be in a lot more discomfort than I was.

hearing that after Gastric sleeve they send you home with a drain

@@TanishaP

luckily no drain here!!

DOS i wasn't even aware of a possibility of a drain

(i hadn't seen/read anything about drains at the time on the board)

i did have two drains later when i had plastics

didn't hurt, or give me any problems

sleeping was fine too

just a nuisance!!!!

anything that gets you to the finish line of

WLS procedure being done - is worth the couple of

aches and pains pre- and post-op

good luck with sleeve

speedy recovery

I had a drain after my appendectomy. It felt weird coming out, but didn't hurt.
