so im 8 days post op atm and i figured id jot down a couple differences between my surgery/recovery and a lot of the other ones i see!
first off im not in america so i figured there mightβve been some things different, and surgeons donβt all follow same methods etc. anyway.
main ones are:Β
a) my drains were BIG ol like 600ml ones? and i didnt have to empty them at all, just measure the output each morning, which made things easier. still got them out at 1 week. b) no post op binder! this is a surgeon choice, but i find it interesting nonetheless. seems he does this for both peri + DI. c) was allowed to shower right off the bat b/c the sites had waterproof dressings.
