Drain tube

[jamie5711 27]

Just wondering how painful it is when ur drain tube is removed?? I'm not trying to sound like a baby but needs to know what I'll be facing on Thursday...

My doctor told me, and ppl here all seem to say, that it is not painful at all but it feels very strange. Like there is a snake moving around inside you.

Mine wasn't that painful when removed. Kinda felt like a hard pinch. Actually hurt more when he took the stitches out from it

Ditto above, not "painful" but a weird pulling sensation. Having the tape ripped off the tube site dressing is somewhat painful.

No pain, just feels weird. Like a little tube being pulled out of your side.

seriously.. Kind of like as if they were sliding a string out of you. Piece of cake! Promise

Thanks everyone!! One of the nurses said it will feel like my intestine are being ripped from my stomach! Maybe he was joking.. I feel much better now that I know you guys have actually had it taking out and knows what it really feels like
