No drain - ugh!!

I did go home with a pain pump in place. That's it.

I didn't. My surgeon explains that with advances in protocols and techniques, they really aren't necessary for laparoscopic WLS. Heather explains this better than I could...

I had 2 drains!! One was removed the day I was discharged (Thurs, day 4). Went home with one drain. Had to visit the ER on Sunday afternoon to have it removed because I had A LOT of pain with it! I think it is Dr preference!

There are never any problems, only solutions. quoted by a dear and special friend!!!
