Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Joanne, My drains had to stay in until they produced no more than 35 cc per day each for at least two consecutive days. I had one removed after a week but the second stayed in almost 18 days. It didn't hurt but burned a little if I moved a certain way. Make sure you strip the lines to keep the suction going. I felt like they were keeping me from healing....LOL... although I know they were not but just being there was a pain. Not many clothing choices with the equivelant of two small NERF balls hanging between your legs is there? Hang in there and remember, they are keeping you from swelling........ that fluid has to go somewhere and it's certainly better coming out. Your results will be so worth it. Are you wearing a compression garment? Cissy in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
