I'm really not bleeding too much. Which I'm guessing is a good thing. Like one drain is barely getting blood in it. I tried to do the unclog thing with my family but still. It really isn't filling up. I'm wondering if anyone else had this experience.

Went to Fischer, and not Garramone, but I had drains that I barely filled as well. Overnight, they were a little over halfway the first night. After that, I emptied them daily and they never reached the first line in the bulb. I wouldn't worry about it too much if you're not hurting or retaining fluid. You just might not have a lot in you to begin with.

When in doubt, always call your surgeon. I avoided calling mine after surgery cuz I didn't want to be needy or ask a stupid question, but when I did finally ask them they told me I should've asked much sooner. That's what they're there for.

In my opinion, maybe you're just not having a lot of drainage. But you could also maybe have a clot in the tube or something that is causing it not to drain, so it's always best to ask the surgeon
