I think it’s more in your head… I totally forgot about drains then when I woke up after my op felt these plastic things coming from my sides! they didn’t hurt but were just annoying as you have to carry them around with you when you go to the loo etc lol if you’re a bit squeamish like me then my advise is not to look at them as obviously they drain the blood and fluid etc away lol
When they remove the drains make sure you take a pain killer just before…. The nurse pulled one drain out and I’m not sure whether she forgot to twist the valve or not but it hurt like hell! But the second one was absolutely fine!
Just try not to worry too much about it by this point you’ll nearly be on your way home and resting up 🙂 x
