40 Year Old Mom of 15 Year Old Twins- Umbilical Hernia Repair and Destasis Repair - Philadelphia, PA

Post op day 7.. slow bit getting there I know once I have thee drains out I will be much better they are so annoying but they have a job to do so I have to suck it up and deal with it. in 2 days they are removing them so I'm nervous because I'm afraid it will hurt but it can't be much worse then having them In.

My right drains is really hurting and is burning. They really aren't discharging much and in am having one removed on monday.. how bad will it hurt?????

I had my surgery monday, my ps removed the 2 prior mesh implants and tacks that were causing complications he was able to fix my hernia without mesh so that was a plus. My stomach is still swollen and my belly button doesn't look normal yet doc said it will take a few weeks to look normal. I was in the hospital for 4 days and had an epidural for the pain prior to the surgery it was worth it, it helped so much and it didn't give the post affects like pain pills do. I'm now home and have 2 very uncomfortable drains, the one doesn't hurt much but the other hurts so bad it has a stinging sensation what can I do for that? The good news is that I'm not putting out much fluid so im.hoping to get them out monday. Fingers crossed!
