I had it for a week. Looked gross and by the 4th or 5th day I could not wait till it was out. I just kept it tucked in a pair of baggy sweat pants. It didn't hurt out at all coming out more just a strange pressure when it was getting pulled. The suspense of having it removed is way worse than actually having it out if that makes any sense. Hope this helps

Oh and if your getting one here's a pretty good tip. Your going to want to shower like really bad heh and you got to keep it dry. I suggest using glad press and seal ( it's like Saran Wrap but way better. It actually clings to things) and wrap the drain around your stomach. Worked great for me.

About 24hours. Didn't even know I had one until I got up and walked, which was when I got back to my room.

I had one for a week...no big deal, but was happy to have it out...removal was a non-event, like previous poster said, it was a slightly odd sensation, but not painful.

I had a catheter for a day, surgery was on Monday, Tuesday catheter came out, painless. Had a drain tube until Wednesday morning. It was gross and tucked it in my pocket lol. Unfortunately for me, it did hurt coming out, felt pressure and also a weird feeling. Good news it takes like 5 seconds to take out and you're good.

In for 1 week, was very scared to have it removed..was out before I even knew it happened, truly no big deal. Did have lots of gross bloody stuff in the "grenade" that needed to be emptied, but was less every day. I am thankful all that yucky liquid was drained out of my body and not left to collect in my abdomen to go who know where...yechhh

      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
