drains are out

 Word of caution , do no****ch them pull the drains out. I could not believe the length and size of the things. It was pretty painful but I suppose watching didn't help much. I do feel much better without them.
I got a few extras in my surgery I didn't know about. They  did lipo on my outer  thighs and built up my butt some. I never even thought to ask about my belly button but it is intact. They took five pounds of skin of me. I was kinda shocked about that. I wasn't expecting it to be more than three. Overall I am so happy. I am sore but not in to much pain. I think the scar is placed good and I will be able to wear a bikini if I had the guts. At my age I don't see it happening but you never know.

Congrats on getting the drains out.

The one I had with my RNY hurt when pulled.  All the drains I had for plastics, didn't hurt at all.  I was surprised.

I say... go get that bikini!  

Well, I go Thursday, at 6 am to get the flab off my belly..they said they would Lipo too..But with Medicare, they dont do the thighs or butt..I guess it will just have to hang..How much pain is with it..I know it will hurt alot, but not sure how long... Glad your doing ok...

Thanks for the tip to no****ch the drain removal. I bet your thrilled that they are gone now.

Hey if you got it, even if you had to pay for it - flaunt that bikini.
