Oh, HELL no. I agree with enigmachik. That is completely not okay. There is no reason for you to be in that much pain - especially with your drain! Go to the ER and send him the bill. And, yes. Find a new doctor!

I'm not having any pain from my drain and haven't taken any meds today. How does your bulb look? They told me if it fills full in less then an hour then I need to come back in. I've yet to have it fill even half full...hope this helps.

I cant believe your doctor told you that. That sounds very rude and unprofessional. :-(

absolutely! Any doctor who isn't concerned about his patient's level of pain deserves to be horse whipped. What a putz! Were you given any prescription pain medication? Hopefully liquid loritab.

Sorry to hear is it draining? Does it look infected?

I'm so sorry. I had my drain for 9 days and each day became harder. Have you stripped it to make sure there were no clots?

I started finding myself hyper-focusing on the drain because it was bugging me. You are only a week out and I remember how I felt at that time.

I have Lupus so my body was attacking the drain and you can see it was starting to get infected. I hope they are taking it out soon (in a day or two??) The drain is a foreign body and I would imagine all bodies will want to start rejecting whether or not you have Lupus.

I swear you feel much better when the drain is out and my prayers are with you.

My guess would be then that your body just wants it out. I hope that will be soon for you!

Oh honey. I hate that you feel bad. But your Dr should listen even if you say your toe nail is hurt. I would tell him he can deal with it . The audacity of this. I feel so bad. Do what you need to do. Go to Er or anywhere else to feel better. I hope you feel better soon.

Why do you still have a drain? Mine had to come before I left the hospital on day two. They really do things different in Mexico.

That's very insensitive of your Doctor; no bedside manners at all. Prayers and hugs going out to you now!

      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.
