I met with my PS and he said he uses a "new technique" (that he has been doing for about 3 years now) that does not require drains. I was excited to hear that, but as I am reading more and more on this site- which I am so happy I found!- I havent heard of a single person that didnt have drains. Has anyone else heard of this? If you had no drains, how was your recovery? What was your experience?
