Greetings!!
A drain tube following gall bladder removal is subjective to the surgeon who operated (he/she knows the intra operative findings and difficulties)
It is kept to detect any leak or to drain any spilled bile.
If it is just staining the tube and the bag, it can be removed at 24-48 hours based on the operating surgeons advice.
44 hours is not early
If the patient is stable, eating well without much complaints, not to worry about the drain tube being pulled out.
Wishing her a full recovery
