Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Judy, as much as you hate the drain, you don't want them to take it out too soon. After my 2nd mastectomy, the drain was removed after a week and I filled up with so much fluid it looked like I had grown a new boob below the incision and had to have it drained with a needle and syringe 2 times....not fun! I was allowed to shower 2 days after surgery. I covered the incision area with saran wrap held on with surgical tape and made a necklace of gauze to hold my drain while I showered. Hope that helps.
