gc> 50 Posted January 14, 2013 That was one of the weirdest feelings when they removed that tube. Touched organs that aren't often touched as they pulled it out. Kind of creepy IMHO 1 sky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisersassy 369 Posted January 15, 2013 It was painful to me when nine was pulled but the pain went away and I was able to sleep on my side afterwards. Now though I can't sleep on my left side because of the discomfort on right side having my gallbladder removed!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melynie 10 Posted January 15, 2013 So does everyone go home with that tube in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ginsyn76 51 Posted January 15, 2013 I didn't go home with the JP drain. I struck a deal with my doc that if the surgery went great and there was min drainage that they would take it out before I went home and they did. I hate those things that was the third surgery I have had that I ended up with one. I wish I could have skipped it altogether. I'm sure you will feel better and heal faster now.
