How long did you have to have yours in for? I have to be back to work this Thursday and I got my surgery on Wednesday... I'm dreading having to wear them to work! The doctor mentioned something about at least having 40 oz. of fluid drained before removing?

I had the surgery on a Wednesday and the doctor removed the drains on the following Monday. I feel for you, the drains absolutely sucked. And no, I can't imagine going to work with drains still in, I don't think it will work out for you.

I don't think it would really go by how much is drained, but how much is continuing to drain. I go mine out today, day four after surgery. Yesterday and today, the output was just a matter of drops. I'm sure if it's down to just a couple drops every 12 hours, the doc isn't going to force to to keep them until you drain X amount... That said, I've never heard of them being in for longer than a week.
