Drains/ Aftercare
Got a tummy tuck in the Avoca clinic 6 days ago.
Has anyone who has surgery and has to keep a drain in had a problem with the suction on the drain and having to go back to get it changed?
Twice in one day on day 2 of recovery, I had to go over and get the drain changed. 1hour and a half over and back, only home and suction went.
2nd time in that day,y they gave me a spare drain bottle to change if this happens again.
Yes, it happened again, and I had to change.
Day 5 suction looked a little up to what it was when I changed it over, but there was no more fluid going into the bottle.
I called and was told it is ok, might be just iv no fluid.
Day 6, the suction went up more again.
Today is day 6, and I’m over tomorrow to get the drain out.
Just feel it is not good aftercare if the drain keeps losing suction and not giving a few spares.
All the staff are lovely, just the aftercare with the drain needs to be improved.
