ItalianSuzy 6 Posted January 7, 2020 Did anybody here come home with the draining tube from the hospital. I had surgery 12/31 and I came home with mine. I find it hard to get a comfortable sleeping position. Only two more weeks of all liquid diet for me. Mi can’t wait to have Greek yogurt or something more substantial.

Bastian 458 Posted January 7, 2020 I didn't have a drain, did they explain why you have one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New&Improved 1,780 Posted January 7, 2020 Had drain for only 3 days in hospital was annoying when trying to sleep. Its like a tube that comes from inside your body and Fluid and blood and stuff comes out into the drain bottle/bag and was changed everyday... I assume it helps with the bloating and fluid inside.

ItalianSuzy 6 Posted January 7, 2020 My surgeon said as a precaution. She’s a great surgeon so I trust her but it’s been hard. I just am sleeping maybe 3 hours a night. I’m dying for sleep and rest and a little more than liquids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some do, but many of us never had them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
