OMG... im counting down the days...but have a question??

I was wondering when u go in for ur first checkup after a tt with lipo? i never asked that question to my dr and was wondering what u all have done? and when do u get drains out??
thanks, renae

 if you stay in the hostpital, hours latter n the day after, and after that maybe 3 days or 1 week.

I didn't go back to see my surgeon for 10 days.  And was upset that he didn't take the darn drains out that day.  I had to wait an additional week for my drains.  Not sure if it depends on the amount that is draining or what.  I DO know that when he finally took those nasty drains out I felt like a new woman.  Good luck!
