DRAIN
 I had my surgery with Dr. Caruana six weeks ago and I had two drains becuase he removed my gallbladder during my surgery.   They were both removed the morning I was released from the hospital.   They are really no big deal.   The nursing assistants will come in once a shift and empty the drainage and measure it.   After he takes them out he just puts some guaze over the hole and it will close on it's own in a few days.   Good luck to you
