Ooops, didn't mean to send that yet. I will say, it feels amazing to have it gone! ! It literally lasted probably 3 seconds. But not something I ever want to have again in my lifetime! :-)

I remember having mine out it was surprising, weird, painful and painless at the same time.

Oh no @@amylynns I get mine out Wednesday. Maybe I'll take some pain meds prior to my visit. I've been very nervous about having it removed. I'm also going to be so excited to have it GONE!! How do you feel now?

I don't mean to make you more nervous about the drain! :-( sounds like a couple others had it out with a different experience than mine. It's over super quick, but pain meds might help.

Does Gas X not work? That helped with all my trapped gas. chewable.< /p>

Both worked for me: milk of magnesia and gas-x. But watch out for milk of magnesia trading you the gas relief for diarrhea cramps.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
