It didn't hurt me. It was removed on day three before I left the hospital and removal didn't hurt either.

Depends on how ,deep its in, when they removed my spleen and pancreas it was pretty deep and really hurt. Gallbladder was a peace of cake. Lol

The Drain itself didn't hurt but since mine had been in for over a week it started to hurt towards the end where the skin was trying to heal around it and then everytime you bumped the drain it would hurt the new skin. So it mostly depends on how long they keep it in, in my opinion. Hope that helps, good luck.

I had the drain in for 5 days and it did hurt. The drain was under my breast bone tmi:-). However, it did not hurt when it was removed.

Good luck

I had mine in 5 days post sugery. It was mostly just uncomfortable when dressing/showering. I recommend finding some slightly tight mens T shirts with pockett. Place the drain pump in the pocket and the snugness of the shirt will keep the dressing around the insertion point snug and comfortable. When it was removed it was simply a pulling sensation, consistent speed in removal is key. Within a day the incision mostly healed on its own when covered by a bandage.

Mine was placed during surgery monday am and it was pulled before going home Wednesday around noon. While it was in it was just uncomfortable like - i felt it something there - and it contributed to the god awful hiccups since it was close to/on my diaphragm. I must say her pulling it (about 8") had to be one of the worst things ive ever felt - yes worse than the catheter coming out.

Apparently everyone is different because I barely even knew the drain was there but when it was removed I cried like a little baby and even spewed a few curse words at the nurse. That hurt! I did apologize afterwards, lol.

I had a HER remove mine too she was an icy cold B ..so I can't I felt bad when the wet end smacked her in the face....thanks for trying to rip what's left of my stomach out need a tissue?

I had my drain tube in the 5 days I had to be in the hospital. I had to go home with it in from Mexico (I had a bleeding problem after surgery) for another 13 days. To say the least it SUCKED! It hurt so bad around the drain site where the skin started to grow around the tube and every time I moved it would bleed and I would have to change the dressing. It hurt really bad when they pulled the stitches out around the tube but the pulling out part did not hurt at all. It was heaven when it was finally gone.
