It's finally out!

Of all the things I experienced, the poking, the prodding - the surgery....the drain that remained with me until my surgical follow-up was the MOST annoying.

I admit it - I was terrified at the thought of the pain that I would have to endure to have it removed - but I wanted it GONE more.

And after all that build up in my mind....it didn't hurt at all. It just felt like a weird tugging sensation. I think that may have been because I had it for two weeks and I had healed a lot.

At any rate.....I am free of the drain....and down 23lbs since surgery on August 27th and 38lbs since my pre-op on Aug 9th.

Yippee me!

    I had a total of 6 incisions including my belly button. My doctor left it in to help combat infection setting up in my tummy.

    Wowsers!!! Great results - awesome job! I won't have to come home with a drain, but I had one years ago when I had knee surgery and I, too, remember the removal being a very very weird feeling, lol. Glad you got it removed! =)

    Dr. Titus Duncan with Real Results and Peachtree Bariatrics. I attended a lot of seminars including one for Dr. Macik before deciding on Dr. Duncan. His credentials were outstanding and he had a reputation of not being afraid to operate on folks on the higher end of the scale (the 300s, 400s, 500s).

    Oh no. The antibiotics will fix you right up. I wish you a speedy recovery.
