hey everyone just wondering if anyone has had the on q pump and removed it themselves im just supper nervous to do it just wondering if its simple to do and if theres any pain? thanks!

Why can't your doctor or nurse remove the pump?

My husband had that, and when it was time to take it out I was a nervous wreck. I began pulling on the tube, gently of course and told him to tell me to stop if it started to hurt. Well it did not hurt him at all, and you will not believe how long the tube is. He had a lot of drainage for several days after, but the Dr said it was ok. I would get someone else to to it for you, there is just something pyscological about doing it yourself. I personally would probly faint. lol. But either way there shouldnt be much discomfort at all.

I have a pretty strong stomach and had a hard enough time taking off my steri strips, lol. I would let a doctor or nurse do it for you. This way you can at least try to relax. Or even lose your eyes.
