Posted under Lipoma Removal q&a

My up drain just fell out. I am still pushing out a lot of fluid. What do I do?

roxxythomas
I had a 10 lb lipoma removed April 27, 2017 .. my drain is still inserted and I am still pushing out like 70cc twice a day. This morning I noticed it hanging to my ankle. It came out. What do I do. .. I am getting off work and going to e.r, but my appointment isn't until another two days for a followup from my last visit a few weeks ago.
