Drain

[shrinkingstacy 15]

Trust me if something is leaking its better than it staying in I had a drain 2 days in the hospital with very little in the bulb, I got it out came home and got seromas on 3 of my incisions One was so large they had to reopen my incision and press as the Fluid squirted out about 50cc. The idea is for the Fluid to come out as long as the doctor is aware let it leak

Has anybody dealt with postop pain over a week out? It's like a sharp pulling feeling near the belly button that radiates to the lower left side of the abdomen and the left leg? Should I be concerned?

@@Bhca8201 My surgeon told me that can be normal, however, if it is concerning, address with your surgeon. Pain can sometimes indicate infection (usually associated with redness as well), so reaching out to your surgeon may be a good idea so they can further assess you.

Question about when the doctor pulls the drain out. How bad does it hurt? Or what does it feel like?

It did not hurt at all! I was so surprised, I didn't even know he did it till he said he was done.

My drain hurt so very badly when they took it out but I had a bleeding ulcer and blood in my abdomen.

I never had a "drain" so I am not really sure what you are talking about. Sorry.
