What do you think?  I have extensive drains.  Frightening. They go up to the top of my chest.

It's like pulling 4 or 5 hairs out of your head at the same time. Hurts for like a second then the tube slides out.  The whole thing is over  quick-like. Don't sweat it.

Thanks.  I took them out, they bugged me.  Weren't doing much anyway.

One hurt like hell, I'm glad I didn't waste doctor time with that one.

Duuuuude,
Stop it. :o You paid your PS quite a bit of dough. He works for you. Use him. In your other posts you are concerned with the results. If anything doesn't turn out to your liking and you request a free follow-up procedure, what do you think your PS is going to say? He might respond with something to the effect,

"since you removed the drains yourself before I wanted them removed it's your fault you need a revision and if you want a revision pay full price."
 
Did you let your PS know you removed the drains? What was his response? My advice is just chill during recovery and do exactly as your PS says.
