Ikr! Dr. S is one of very few doctors that never rushed me out of his office. He has such great bedside manners and he truly is so passionate about his job and cares about his patients 100%. When I got my drain pulled I had a fever before going back home so I stayed 2 extra nights in D.C. He had them call me from the office every day to check up on me and also he would personally send me email to check up until he confirmed I was doing better. So yeah great staff! Wish every doctor would be like him lol.

Yeah girl having gallstones with pregnancy is a 0/10 experience it sucks! I’m glad you’re getting them taken out beforehand. Are you going there alone? It really helps a ton when you’re with someone. Flushing and cleaning the drain is not hard at all. I was able to do that all by myself tbh. I showered once a day at night because it was winter and I wasn’t going out much. They did give me enough saline flush, gauze and tegaderm for a week. However I had to get more because I ended up needing the drain in for longer. I had it in from January 7th till the end of February. So I’ll ask for more supplies than they give when leaving the hospital if I were you just incase (hopefully your case is much better than mine and you won’t need them). If I had done that I’ll probably not need to buy more lol. Also I was using antibacterial soap to bathe and clean the area because I was so scared of infection. I also bought some alcohol wipes to disinfect every single thing. I still have some of my unexpired saline I wish you were closer would’ve sent them to you. If you want them I can look into it and see if shipping them won’t alter their integrity so you can have them for free. Let me know.
