It is a gastric drain. It went to my "old" stomach and relieved gas and pressure. I was a revision from band to bypass and had a lot of scar tissue. Most straight RNY and even revisions don't get one. I was one of the lucky few. It was by far the worst part of surgery. That month was hell for me. On a positive note I didn't have gas like some post surgery.

My scar looks like a gun shot so I tell my hubby I am bad ass and that's my back story now.

I had mine in for 10 days. The took it out at my first post op appointment.

My drain was removed right before I was discharged. I don't want to ever experience the feeling of the drain being removed ever again in life.

Take a deep breath when they take it out. I didn't even realize she had taken it out.
