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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
