it really depends, usually 4 days +. I've stayed for 8 nights in Private Hospital, and had single mastectomy, lymph node and expander. Best to call your the surgeon who is responsible for your expanders & the drains (in my case) Bring a light & pretty tot bag + a scarf, so you can carry/hide the drains when you are mobile around the hospital. It was important to me, as I didn't want my young children to see them - it was "just mummy's hospital handbag ;)".
All the best, will be thinking of you.
