    Hi Anita,
    My drains were in for about a week. Wear your girdle all the time. I also had a pain pump that I pulled out myself after all the medication was gone. I am not gonna lie it was the most painful surgery I have ever had. I had good help at home for the first week and after that I was good on my own. I was off work for 6 weeks due to no lifting. If you have a pain pump and after it is gone use your oral meds for pain. I had a breast lift and my tummy done at the same time. So it was a double wammy for me. I had 14 pounds of skin removed from my tummy. Best decision I did. You will do fine. I had a awesome surgeon which was a huge thing.
    Good Luck,
    Cyndie
