Did anyone have a draine left in after surgery???

[miss shan]

Just wondering if anyone had a draine left in after surgery? Iv been watching loads of utube videos and some people have draines in that come out after but others don't so im confused as to if you need it or not. the thought of something hanging out of me and having to be removed later scares me just a little.

Hi JJJ, what type of surgery did you have done? I will be having the sleeve, really hoping I don't need to have one.

Hi Llora, thanks, your the second to say they did have one.....I'm starting to get a little worried, was hoping everyone was going to say they didn't have one lol.

I had my bypass in Belgium and had a drain for the first couple of days. My only problem with it was tangling it in my drip when I went for a walk

Yep! I was given a safety pin to hang mine that i would not have to carry it in my hands and get it tangled

I had my bypass done at the same place as Lynn, yes the drain is pretty horrible coming out but it last about 3 or 4 seconds then its all over.

Given that the drain bottle actually was half full it seems a reasonable precaution. Depends on the op of course but with a bypass they need to check it regularly to make sure there is no bile in there. You surgeon can advise.

Yes I had a drain for a couple of days, but never hurt coming out. I had a Sleeve.

All the best with your journey, and operation.
