I'm sorry but this Jp drain is coming out tomorrow and I couldn't be happier!!!!!! It is so tender and I can't move an inch without it hurting! Can somebody tell me what to expect when the drain come out? Does it hurt worse than it already does?

OK the feeling is so hard to explain. Mine was very uncomfortable like yours. I mean miserable. If it got touched once it hurt do bad. I personally thought it was a very odd uncomfortable borderline painful thing

It really isn't painful, but it still kind of is. Just breath out when they r doing it..good luck...u will b able to relax do much once it is out :)

It doesn't hurt just uncomfortable. Just keep breathing the whole time. The sensation surprised me and I accidentally held my breath.

Because mine flipped, it was the worst pain I have even experienced. It is rare that it flips through...just my luck. I would ask if they can give pain meds before hand. Most people say it just feels weird. It takes about a less than 30 sec to get it out.

It didn't hurt at all to come out and I felt 100x better with that literal PAIN out! Lol mine was also very sore when it was in and I has almost instant relief when it was removed.

Silly question, but what is a drain?

its an abdomen drain with a tube that drains excess Fluid after surgery into a ball dangling by your side. Youtube it....JP Drain

I didn't have any pain when my drain was removed. It was more like that sinking sensation from a roller coaster and it was over in a second. :)

I guess I was one of the fortunate ones that didn't have a drain... Good luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
