Drain Question...

Mom2Sarah

So I had a bilateral mastectomy two weeks ago tomorrow. And my drains have been great and doing what they're supposed to be doing. There's hardly been anything in them. But this morning when I got up, the left drain/bulb was pretty full. Like way more than usual. Ugh! What does that mean? I see my plastic surgeon tomorrow, but all I did was sleep! Is that bad? I was hoping to have both drains removed tomorrow, but that might not happen now?

I think it might depend of tomorrow morning's output. Believe me, I know what a pain they are, butbe aware that if removed too early, any forming seroma would bring thick hard scar tissue as it resorbs, or need extra surgery for draining. Been there with both results, just in different areas
