I had to have 1 but when they pulled it out it does feel uncomfortable but nothing like razorblades it just feels like somethings wrapped around your ribs in your back. just take a deep breath in and when they're ready to pull keep breathing out every time there pulling.

Mine was just like that

My sister had an extended hospital stay. I had a drain tube and removal was no big deal. Quick and easy.

My surgery is in October. I haven't talked to Dr. yet but I don't want one. Fifteen years ago I had an appendix burst on me, they put in a drain, I was in the hospital six weeks with drain and it was the only thing painful. It hurt coming out and to this day I can touch the spot it was at and I get weak.

UPDATE: I did have a drain tube. It was removed 5 days later when i had to have emergency surgery to fix an incisional hernia. I was out like a light...so didn't feel it...Thankfully :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
