Hi everyone i had a Tummy tuck on july 8th 2008, i used to weigh 196 pds ad now i am down to 179..but i am very swollen, i still have my drainage tubes, its been 13 days already and I am sick of them..

i am supposed to see the doc tomorrow because over the weekend, two of the drainage holes look white inside? can this be an infection? on one of them the skin is red and hurts a bit..

my drains were clogged with some stringy piece of skin... he pulled it out and the next day the white developed around the drain hole..

also my stomach is not swollen, but i am so scared i have an infection, since those holes are white if it is infected can the drain holes cause my tummy to get infected too??

Hi,
I don't know if you have an infection, but I just had one of my drains removed and i feel a slight pain. Did you have any pain with removal of the drains?
