I do not have a drain tube however I do have pain in just one incision area. It's bigger than all the others. It's almost impossible for me to stand straight because it tugs and causes a burning/pulling pain. I guess it's pretty normal from what I have read. Since I have been walking slouched over my back is bothering me too! [emoji30] hope the soreness passes for you soon!

Yes my back is killing me !! My drain tube comes out Wednesday and I'm hoping that takes the majority of my pain away

Yeah I was sleeved 18/4 and tube came out next day. That was the majority of pain I felt, from the pipe irritating inside, once it was pulled out it was gone.

no drain

So should I expect after drain tube is removed the pain should subside

I can't speak for yourself as each person is different but when my nurse pulled it out I was just told to exhale hard to help it out. Took 5 seconds for the meter long tube to come out.

My pain was discomfort at its worst but LOTS of gas moved so probably may help some

Yes I did. The drain tube site is not stitched close like the other incisions so its healing from an open wound. It'll feel better in a day or two.

I have a drain tube from my GS surgery 3 days ago. Most of my pain is coming from that site. It doesn't come out until this Friday...patiently waiting lol.

Me too@judymo !!! Wednesday can't come fast enough for me !!! lol I had my surgery with Dr Wegner on 4/25/17 at Saint Francis Hospital in Memphis TN

My drain site was stitched shut to keep the drain in and it was easily picked out and then yanked out for instant relief. No issues since as its solidly sealed up again.

I was sleeved the same day. My drain was pulled on Wednesday before I discharged. It was uncomfortable to have it pulled. I find that I'm hurting the most when I bend over. I am also riding the struggle bus to be satisfied liquid wise. Any suggestions?

[klea0215 8]

I'm curious why some have drain tubes and some don't and the length they have it is different

I had my sleeve on 4/24, no drain tube though. My pain comes from the bigger indented incision. It hurts when sitting up straight, bending over, trying to get up and down. I can't wait for this to heal.

What up with that. I have an indentation where my biggest incision is and that's the one that hurts too! I had my sleeve same day as you.
