I'm getting mine removed tomorrow. Just wondering if most surgeons give you something first or if it's not that bad.

How long has it been in? Mine was in for 2 weeks and it didn't hurt. It just felt a little weird coming out.

They took mine out before I left the hospital. It was uncomfortable but nothing to bad. The left one hurt more because the nurse forgot to cut the stitch that was holding it in. Really getting the iv hurt more.

The nurse told my that it might sting for a few minutes but it didn't. It just felt really weird. I could feel it unraveling in my belly but it didn't hurt at all. They took mine out that day after my surgery so it wasn't in very long. Hope you are doing well!

I've had mine for a week. I'm so ready to get rid of it!

I was really stressed about the drain too! But it was quick and didn't hurt very much just felt weird. I feel so much better having that thing removed!!

I'll be honest, mine hurt more than I expected based on what my other friends told me but It still wasn't that bad. It just felt like strong stomach cramps.

You can feel it being pulled from your abdomen out of your body-weird pulling sensation but then instant relief once it's out

This is exactly what it was like. The weirdest feeling I've ever experienced. It only took about 2 seconds, though, and it was all over. I felt 1000 times better immediately after it was out!
