At first, you will have a dressing in place over your incision. You may have an epidural catheter inserted in your back to deliver pain medication and help with pain control. You will have chest tube(s) and /or JP drain(s) from the same side of the chest as the incision to help drain extra fluid from your chest. If you had a double lung transplant, you will have chest tube(s) and/or drain(s) on each side of your chest. These will be removed based on evaluation of your chest x-ray and drainage amount.
