First apt after surgery today

I'll be honest... I'm a little nervous. Mostly because my tubes haven't really been draining that much at all, and I wouldn't be surprised if he dosn't decide to go ahead and pull one or two of them...for some reason this prospect scares the poop out of me ( not literally unfortunatly). Anyway...thoes of you who have had it done please tell me that it's less painful then I have it worked up to be.

I'm also wondering what my weight will be. I know it's likely to gain right after because of the fluids and all, but I've been on a full liquid diet since surgery and I'm really not swelling much. I just really want thoes numbers to read lower than 140 and I'm not sure if they will or not but i'm determined not to stress about it this early on.

They've already removed half of my staples and I'm assuming they'll remove the other half today, at least that's what i'm hoping I think i hate the staples as much as the drains! especially the ones on my back and hips! Well, I'll update yall after I leave the office this afternoon. Thanks for the support!

Good Luck!

I was worked up about removal, too...but none of them lived up to the hype I was giving them! lol

I had three drains pulled at the same visit, leaving one behind for nearly another week. The first three didn't hurt one bit...just a snakey feeling as they were being pulled out. The forth drain only hurt -mostly burned- as it came out of the opening. I think the skin had healed and was burning and stinging due to stretching of the hole.
