I do not have a drain tube however I do have pain in just one incision area. It's bigger than all the others. It's almost impossible for me to stand straight because it tugs and causes a burning/pulling pain. I guess it's pretty normal from what I have read. Since I have been walking slouched over my back is bothering me too! [emoji30] hope the soreness passes for you soon!

Yes my back is killing me !! My drain tube comes out Wednesday and I'm hoping that takes the majority of my pain away

Yeah I was sleeved 18/4 and tube came out next day. That was the majority of pain I felt, from the pipe irritating inside, once it was pulled out it was gone.

I can't speak for yourself as each person is different but when my nurse pulled it out I was just told to exhale hard to help it out. Took 5 seconds for the meter long tube to come out.

My pain was discomfort at its worst but LOTS of gas moved so probably may help some

Yes I did. The drain tube site is not stitched close like the other incisions so its healing from an open wound. It'll feel better in a day or two.

I have a drain tube from my GS surgery 3 days ago. Most of my pain is coming from that site. It doesn't come out until this Friday...patiently waiting lol.

My drain site was stitched shut to keep the drain in and it was easily picked out and then yanked out for instant relief. No issues since as its solidly sealed up again.

I was sleeved the same day. My drain was pulled on Wednesday before I discharged. It was uncomfortable to have it pulled. I find that I'm hurting the most when I bend over. I am also riding the struggle bus to be satisfied liquid wise. Any suggestions?

I had my sleeve on 4/24, no drain tube though. My pain comes from the bigger indented incision. It hurts when sitting up straight, bending over, trying to get up and down. I can't wait for this to heal.

What up with that. I have an indentation where my biggest incision is and that's the one that hurts too! I had my sleeve same day as you.

      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!!
