Has anybody heard from Ms. JJ/ kinda worried about her
Topic: RE: Okay so I came home yesterday...
Tom! You're home! Great! How are you feeling???
Okay, the drain apparently is the personal choice of the surgeon...for the surgeons who do not use the drain, I have no idea what their alternative is!
So what it is...is...I have tubing coming out of one of my incisions (it's about the same kind of tubing as an iv line) and it is a few feet long and leads to a soft plastic drain...I compare it to looking like a grenade. So the liquid that your body is draining after surgery goes thru this tube and into the drain, and I have to empty it a few times a day. It is quite gross...
Not to mention, my friend had hers out yesterday, and she said there is a whole nother foot of this drain line inside of us! so not only is it gross, but it's going to hurt when they pull it out!!!

Congrats on everything.
sorry to hear you had a lot of pain.
I do have one question. what is this drain you speak of. I had RNY and had no drain?

You will do great Kim!
As for the liquids...I drank 32 oz the first 24 hrs I believe, after surgery...its a lot of work though bc I was drinking my liquids out of those little medicine cups. LOL. It will take u some time to get used to it!
