2 Down

The 2 chest drains came out today.  Hopefully the 2 stomach drains will come out tomorrow.......2 different surgeons......1 for the chest 1 for the stomach.   The relief of the missing 2 drains is wonderful.  I also don't have to change the dressings over the incisions anymore, so once the last 2 drains are gone showering will be so much easier. I still walk like Tim Conway as the old man on the old Carol Burnett Show, but life is wonderful, I can see great results and the pain has not been bad at all.  I would recomend this to everyone.  I feared the pain alot, but got to tell you really not bad at all. This has been so worth it! Thanks guys I look forward to hearing from you all. Alan

Congrats: have never had them, don't want them, respect the guys who go through it Kev-

Thanks Kevin, I had only 1 drain from my original Rny surgery, but now 4   OMG!  Its worth it though I have so much of a smaller chest   and so much of a flatter stomach.   If a little while with the drains is what it takes oh well. I do wish for you though to never know anything from drains. Congrats are your great weight loss, Thanks, Alan

Alan, Glad to hear it’s going well for you!! Once those drains come out it gets easier much quicker. Now you can start that second career as an Under-wear Model! Best Wishes- Dx

Alan, I'm glad to hear that you are making good progress.  You'll bounce back before you know it.
