Mastectomy drain bag belt
I am having a double total mastectomy soon and was wondering if anyone has purchased a drain belt and if so where did you purchase it and was it useful. Thanks.

I had the double in December and just used the bags they provided, pretty materials and made by a group of volunteers.
I had one drain out after 7 days and the other at 14 days.
It was overwhelming at first but you get used to draining the bags daily.
Sleeping is a challenge, as you have to sleep on your back so pillows either side are helpful.
treat yourself to weekly hairdresser visits for a great hair wash and dry.
all the best with the surgery
