Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 amy, i didn't have any drains going home and i had open RNY. i did have 6 little drains which reminded me of a kazoo about 3 inches long. they were towards the top of the incision and were removed the day i went home (on the 3rd day from surgery). i have heard of some having drainage tubes for 3 weeks after their surgery. i thank the good Lord i didn't have to go through that. laurette 4/23/04 open RNY 309/290/255/150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 It is too bad that they can't take out the part of our brains that tries to convince us that we are hungry while they are at it. I know that is the majority of my hunger before the surgery so I know I am going to have a lot of problems with it following the surgery. Hang in there and vent all you want. I know that I will be doing the same one day after my surgery. Dora Awaiting approval in TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
