I had my bilateral mastectomy with expanders placed one week ago today (Monday). Woke up with 4 drains. I got 2 drains out on Thursday (3 days post-op). My instructions are less than 30ccs in 24 hours for 2 consecutive days. So my last 2 days have been 25 and 23 on one side, 17.5 and 22.5 on the other. So I'm meeting the criteria, but only being a week out I'm wondering if I'm really ready to have them removed. I was sure I'd have them for at least 2 weeks, and have read very few comments where people seemed to have them removed this early. I'm not complaining if they're ready, but will I regret it? Has anyone had them all out within a week??
ETA: Well, I got the last 2 taken out. All 4 out by day 7! I'm pumped about it for sure, I totally expected some to be in longer....but will be keeping a close eye on the drainage sites just to make sure nothing weird is going on. I don't see my surgeons for another 9 days for post-op, so hoping all goes well and I'm healing up well before then.
On week 3….about the get the last 2 out today!! Cannot wait
