My drain was removed at 5 days post op out put of 80cc, 2 days later I had a bunch of liquid Then I flew back to US with drain and recived instuxtions to remove it after 7 days output of 25cc. Liquid built up again, luckily I got a surgeon here in US to aspIrate it. He was able to get 100cc out then 30ccs 2 days later then 10cc. I left the office still with some liquid there and a water bed effect. I was wearing a sweat band for a day and sudenly all my liquid seems gone! Can I have sweated out?
