Just thought I'd pipe up...my drains (I had one on each side) both

drained...the one on the right almost 3 times the one on the left. I had

them both removed on the 5th day and the right one still was draining alot.

I had big silcone type bandages across my entire stomach and about 4 days

later the drain hole leaked thru it so I had to get a new one. But since

then nothing has drained...the holes are both closed...so hang in

there....this will pass!!

AJ: I know what you mean about those drains! I had two on my right side

(none on my left). THose little bandages DIDN't hold it all... soaked right

through to the bed! I tried sanitary napkins and they seemed a little more

absorbant... Thank God that stopped after a few days!

All the best,
