How do I dress my own wounds to make them more comfortable from the pulling / burning sensation
As someone who does a significant number of panniculectomies I can tell you that pain around the drains is the number one complaint. My best advice is to try to bolster/pad the drain site with 4x4's and pin the actual drain bulb to a lanyard around your next. This will make it easier when you're showering and you're less likely to pull the drains out compared to having them pinned to your shirt or binder. Good luck and congratulations on how far you've come.
