I just turned 30 on friday!! 

I still have my drains in, I am supposed to get them out on thursday.  I was supposed to go yesterday but I was still draining too much for my PS.  When I see him I will ask him about the dark line.

 I had my TT on Dec. 28th and came home with 2 drains.  My surgery was in conjuction with the removal of a very large ovarian cyst.  The PS told me during my pre-surgical consult that he expected the drains to be in a minimum of 3 weeks.   His experience with other bariatric patients showed a longer than normal need for drains.  At 2 weeks out, I'm still draining in excess of 30 from each drain (or 60 total) per day.  The PS wants me under 25 total before he removes the drains.   

And swelling...wow.  My upper belly is huge.  I pulled out some "fat" pants from the Goodwill bag.  If I go up one full pant size and pick something with elastic inserts, the waist fits great, but the thigh, butt and crotch areas are HUGE.  It looks horrible.  I have no idea what I will wear to work once I am released! 

Good luck!

Thanks for that info.  I go to the PS tomorrow - I am draining around 100 total per day, 45-60 per side depending on the day.  I really want these drains out but I was just telling my husband that I was worried to have them out tomorrow because all that is going to stay inside me!!!
