What happens to fluid output after drain removal post surgery?

March 24, 2015
Asked By:TacomaGirl in Phoenix, AZ

It's been 2 weeks and finally both JP drains removed post TT. Average output for prior 3 days 25-40cc each. One of the tubes was "stuck" thus required intense tugging until it came out. I have felt intense internal burning to right side of body and around BB. I am also back to work and on my feet all day. How much is reasonable for body to "absorb" and how exactly does the body "absorb" and take care of the output in between the layers after drain removal? Dumb it down for me please. Thanks!
