Hi All, Ten days out and I just got home from my first post op visit. Lost 14 lbs brought down my BMI from 38 to high 35. Got that drain out and everything is looking and feeling good. Kinda freaked the nurse out when I showed her I could touch my toes without discomfort(G)

On a side note, getting the drain removed is quite a strange feeling, isn't it? It felt like I was having my internal organs removed through a tiny hole, but it didn't hurt.

LOL I beg to differ removal of that drain was one of the most uncomfortable and painful things I have ever experienced. I am not a chicken and have a high pain tolerance but I told my mom after the doctor left the room that if I was the sort of person that would scream in pain, that is the time I would have done so. I could feel it pulling on tissue that was wrapped around it and it was sort of wound up in there...GAG i could puke right now thinking about it. I just sort of grunted and bit back during it. I NEVER want anything like that in my body again if I can help it.:thumbup1:

LOL! I was envisioning them pulling ten feet of tubing out of my stomach(G) It didn't hurt. I think I am on a partial high from all the relief I feel now that it is over and an jolt of energy....probably all this protein(G)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
