Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

I'm now 5 days post tummy tuck and the drain fell out at 3 days post op. Will I be ok? (photo)

They tried placing it back but there was excessive leakage and air was getting in. I'm worried that this will affect me for the worse. My doctor velasco has been amazing and even made a special trip to the clinic for me when the drain was falling out. The nurses are all at my reach 24 hours a day and I don't feel neglected. Just anxious. In addition I developed a cough. Not bad but feels like phlegm builds up in my throat and I gotta get it out. It hurts to cough. How can I deal.
