Drain with Sleeve
I did not have a drain. I did have the pain ball and that felt a little weird coming out.

Stalls are your body's way of telling you not to get too cocky.

Some do, some don't. Mine didn't. I have had other surgeries that required drains though, so if you end up with one please know it is not nearly as bad as it sounds. The purpose is to drain off fluid, and in the case of the sleeve I believe to guard against illness that may result from a leak. I could be way, way off on that! My drians are to pull fluid out that may result in a seronoma or issues from the swelling displacing my implants. No worries- whatever the path is for your surgery you will be embarking on changing your life immensly and positively!
