I had two drains from both sides. The surgeon said it was to drain the liquid they use to clean the area. It was a bit scary for me when I had to wash around the area I nearly fainted. I had mine in for 2.5 days and the one on the right kept leaking a bit. After a few days it was all fine.

Good luck

How you feeling lottie? Who did your surgery? Do you know what size band and fill you have?

Meggie, where are you having your surgery? I had my op back 10 days ago and didn't need a drain.

gdlondon posted above had a bypass mind not a band just in case you saw that and thought OMG lol

Hi,

I've had mine done here in Dubai. I'm British but been living here 3 years. I honestly don't feel to bad just uncomfortable and a little wobbly on my feet. I'm dying for some water but I'm not aloud until tomorrow which is frustrating.

I had a band done and have one drain which will come out tomorrow. I think my band is 10ml but can't remember now for the life of if that's right ! Lol. Will ask dr when he comes round later.
