Drain Tube? Catheter? Anyone?
Did you have a drain tube after surgery and how long did you have it? I had a catheter and they removed it the day after surgery, totally painless.
Tomorrow is my one week post-op appointment and I'm hoping they will remove the drain tube.
But, I've heard that removing the drain tube is another story. Can anyone tell me, please, how bad is the pain?
I had drain tubes (2). More than one time... The removal would have been painless except my skin around the tube started closing up and they had to cut that.
but the removal itself was "weird" but not painful at all.
