I had my drain taken out today, and I feel like she ripped my insides out, I'm in more pain than when I came home from the hospital the muscles are killing me

I hope you feel better soon. I must admit, I'm not familiar with the drain on sleeve patients so that's a new one to me.

I had mine removed last Friday and I felt the same way.It should get better by tomorrow. Hang in there and call your doctor if the pain doesn't subside.

To me (and I previously had a drain taken out after my gallbladder surgery 20 yrs ago) it's more 'freaky' than painful. It's almost like when u swallow a strand of spaghetti and then pull it back up. And yes, I've done it even as an adult! Had it lasted longer than about 5 seconds, it probly woulda been painful to me.

The whole 2 days after my surgery, I anticipated them removing my drain before leaving the hospital. I panicked. Then my memory came flooding back to me (kinda like labor does with subsequent babies) afterwards.

Sorry it hurt. Not sure why it would hurt. Good luck on the rest of ur recovery. Hopefully the worst is behind u.
