Question:
I have a lot of drainage.. but not in my drains.

I had my tt on 12/10/02. To be honest with you if I had to do over I would not have the tt. Maybe further out I'll feel different but right now I am in extreme pain and really regret the tt. But anyway, I have 2 drains coming out of my pubic area which are draining very badly. Except they are not draining into my drains at all they are draining down my legs!! I had a visit with my surgeon and mentioned this to him but he felt like it was no big deal but it has become very bothersome to me not to mention the odor which goes along with the draining. Anyone else have this problem and/or have a solution?    — sethsmom94 (posted on December 19, 2002)

I had my TT 15 yrs ago after losing weight on my own. I had the same problem only at times it was like 2 cups of fluids were dropped on my lap. My surgeon said I had more fluids than the drain could accomidate and it was my bodys way of releasing it. Made sense to me, and I never had any other problems. I gained back over 150 lbs later and my tummy is still almost flat. It was worth every bit of the pain.
