    I didn't feel anything when they pulled my drain, but it had been really uncomfortable when I moved prior to them removing it.

  • Hope I have the same luck as you!

I had mine out 4 days after surgery. There was no pain, I could hardly even feel it. It was just slightly uncomfortable. When they did mine, first they shortened the drain by cutting it then attaching a plastic bag. Then later that afternoon they slowly pulled it out and covered with a bandage. No biggie!

My hurt real bad but it lasted only a few seconds.

I didn't feel anything! I freaked out for nothing.

to me it pinched. it was like taking a band aid off thought ... IT FELT SO GOOD once it was OUT.

My drain is out! It felt gross coming out! Ewwww ....lol. Meanwhile, my surgeon put in way too many stitches....ugh! Took the nurse a couple of minutes to get them out.

I feel for all of you that have drains, I can't imagine! My Doctor doesn't use drains unless its needed and he said its a very small percentage. Good luck to you!
