I'm wondering how long it took for the bag to empty? Did you have more pain after you removed it? I've had minimal pain, and have maybe a day or two left of the meds in the bag. I'm afraid once it runs out I will have more pain. It's really doing a good job keeping everything numb, I can touch my abdomen and its partially numb, so I'm afraid of what it will feel like once the meds are gone.

Mine was for three days. Didn't feel anything at all when it was removed and no hanged in discomfort level after it was removed.

Had surgery on a Tuesday and pulled it on Friday. Didn't hurt to pull it, but was a little sore in that area for about 24 hrs.

I had surgery on Tuesday, and its still full, definitely smaller, but about the size of a small mandarin orange. Hoping it will be gone soon. I'm tired of being hooked up to something.

I felt like a St. Bernard with that pouch around my neck.

I got sleeved on Tuesday and I think I pulled it out on Thursday. I was told that when the Fluid was gone from both sides of the ball that it was empty. As far as pain, the day of surgery it felt like a gas pain that would't go away and the pain meds they gave me helped. About a day later I only felt a little soreness (like I had done too many situps the day before) and the liquid hydrocodone made it all better.

I had one placed during surgery. I was sleeved on Monday it got pulled Wednesday night.

what the heck are you guys talking about?

Surgery on Thursday, removed on Saturday never had any pain after or pain meds. It was great !!!

"On-Q cathedar for pain? Did anyone else have this post op?"

Also had an On-Q. It was great. Surgery on Monday, pulled on Wednesday before I went home. No pain after but took some oral meds just in case!

I had an onQ when I broke my ankle in 3 places and had surgery, LOVED IT!!!!

My only regret surrounding surgery time was that the doctor told me I could pull that out whenever I wanted and I was feeling comfortable and I hated that thing so I took it out early. It was only after it was gone that I realized how much it was helping me.

I would leave it alone until it was empty/the doctor told me to pull it out if I had it to do all over again.

Mine didn't appear to be emptying at all for the first day and a half and then all of a sudden it started getting smaller. Had surgery on a Friday and it was empty by Monday. Didn't hurt at all to take out.
