Stitches and drain...Mexico

[still me 9]

Hi, im back in Canada and I am not sure when I go to the dr to get my drain and stitches taken out.

Also, how long does the drain drain, my drain is now starting to drain a light pink Fluid, i think it might be bleeding, but there is no clots, just a pink fluid, i haven't drank anything pink. My wounds are healing nice, very little redness.

I was sleeved 1st of Oct

Any insight please

Hi I had my drain removed by my surgeon the very next day I'm not sure how long you're supposed to keep that in my doctor said I didn't need to keep it in longer ... can you call the surgeon in Mexico to see if it take it out now. I know that once the drain came out I felt so much better. I was sleeved on 10/06/16

Pink or yellow Fluid is normal. It's the thick white, yellowish, or greenish Fluid you have to watch out for

I had no drain and no kind of stitches.

Let us know what your Dr says.

I went to Mexico too...My dr removed the drain while I was still there and covered it with gauze/tape...it still weeped a little of the white/pink Fluid but I felt SO much better after the drain came out (admittedly, I thought I was going to puke when it was coming out though!) I didn't have stitched that needed to be removed..they just dissolved.

Hopefully you'll get an answer from your dr!
