Inverted T Tummy Tuck, breast lift with augmentation 13 days ago due to losing 110 lbs. About 40 cc drainage per day per bulb. No signs of infection outside but one had a little drainage yesterday. The drains pull on my skin and then after I have been up for awhile I start feeling weird in that area and very anxious like I am going to jump out of my skin everything starts to bother me noise, other people, light, etc. I just feel like I want to hide and cry. I have no idea what is going on
