the drain
Debra,
I remember hearing about a drain before my surgery and I wasn't very happy about it, either.
I asked my doctor and he said he doesn't do them routinely, only if necessary. He said it just depended on how much excess blood there was when he was finished up.
Guess I clotted well, because I didn't have a drain when I awoke.
Ask your doctor. It might be 'as needed.'
Good luck to you.
Nancy
