I'm 5'4" & was 190lbs the day of sx. I had 19 lbs of skin removed & 3 liters removed from my back. I'm still draining at least 200 ml/24 hrs & my skin looks like it's starting to heal around the drain, It doesn't look infected. I've been cleaning it every other day with alcohol & applying neosporin & covering with gauze. My surgeon said a patient had it in for 42 days & that seems VERY unusual, but I'm wondering if because of my weight & the amount removed should I expect to have it longer.
