Does Removing The Drain Hurt



Recommended Posts

Don't lie to me. I get it removed monday. I'm so excited to sleep on my belly.

No, but it does feel very strange. There is no way to describe the sensation, but it isn't pain.

It didn't hurt at all, but it did feel really weird. Sorta like how your tummy drops when you go down a dip in the road....a wiggly sensation inside your belly. It made me giggle, but I'm very ticklish. :D

I agree with the others. No pain but felt weird. It comes out so quickly though. It is a relief!!! Good luck : )

I had mine removed yesterday. No pain but it does feel weird. It only takes 10 seconds to pull it out.

Mine hurt so bad I turned white and almost passed out. By far the worst part of my entire sleeve experience and maybe my entire life.

For those who experienced pain, I'm curious......what did the output in the bulb look like prior to removal? Mine was watery and red...almost like fruit punch (gross, I know). And it seems like there was about 12ml output every 12 hours or so.

Lol at Lu wanna! I felt the exact way. I think the longer it is the more uncomfortable it is. My was very long. He had to stop part way through because he couldn't fit the whole drain in his hand. The doc then said wow yours is really long. :P

Mine looked like fruit juice too. I crying just thinking of it...

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
