I had surgery on Wednesay and the only pain I have is on my lower right side, which I don't really understand. I would expect pain on the left side where the stomach was removed, but the right? When I'm sitting it's fine, but if I'm walking/standing, ouch, it hurts! The right side is also where the drain is located, so maybe there is a connection??

Has anyone else experienced this? I appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!

Is this thing on? Somebody? Anybody?

Could be the drain. That was where I had the worst pain. If it continues, call your doctor but it could well be related to the drain. I was surprised to see how long the tube was when the nurse took mine out.

Hey Candy, i had surgery on the 17th and had the drain removed at about a week not as lucky as you, both sides hurt like hell but when the drain came out I felt a big difference on that side. The drain was way longer than I had expected! Call your doctor just to be sure.
