I was blessed my Dr sent me home with a pain pump for 72 hrs and that has helped out alot. My biggest complaint is 4 drains . Seems like everyone else has only one or two. They are constantly tangled and in the way and Dr told me l will only have one taken out next Mon then one Wed then Fri and Mon. Wow so my goal right now is get all these drains removed and l still have not had a bowel mocememt

I had 4 drains. Three of them stayed in for about a week. One stayed in gor what seemed like forever! It begame very red and irritated! I had to be put on antibiotics. My original TT surgery was Feb 20th and I had a re-do on April 2nd. I still have a drain in from the re-do!!! Drains, to me, are the worst part of the whole ordeal!!!!

Just curious as to why you needed to have a re-do. Still considering the surgery and trying to get all of the information I can. Thanks.

Hey Olivia12! The skin on both sides of my vertical incision died. It was never going to grow back together!!! Also, i had a build-up of fluid oozing out of my incisions.

Looks good! Congratulations! It will look much better each week that passes. Swelling will last for months. Be patient :-) I'm 4 weeks PO and can't wait to be done with swelling. Keep us posted!
