Two weeks for me. I hated it.

Did not have one. I feel for those who had to put up with one of those pesky things. I can sympathize with the discomfort. Not related to WLS but I had a Wound Vac placed on me. I was in tears.

wow..its all over the place...I had mine out yesterday, they told me to take a deep breath and blow it out and omg....I thought she was pulling my esophogus and intestines out with it...i have never experienced such pain and it scared me..

Mine came out the day I went home. Didn't hurt but its the weirdest feeling. Thought that thing was wrapped around every organ in my body. She kept telling me to breathe and it was over in seconds.

I didn't have a drain after surgery until a week after they put an accordion drain in for a leakage problem and that stayed in about a month. Hurt bad getting it taken out for just a few seconds, then it just felt weird coming out.

That's true. Think I was more scared than I needed to be about it being pulled out. It really wasn't that bad.

One week. Dr took out at post op appointment.

They took mine out before I left the hospital once they knew I didn't have a leak.
