Hi I would like to chat to anybody on here who has had this procedure. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and after a 3 day hospital stay came home with 2 drains still in which have now been removed and the staples also removed from surgery site. I didn’t know what to expect post operatively and am very slow and not able to move around very much. Just wanted to hear of other people’s experiences in this situation. Love to everyone on this journey xx
