Well I came out of surgery just fine and have been chillaxin at the Marriott, but Dr. Ortiz is coming this morning to pull my drainage tube. Eeeek I am freaking out. Ive heard from a couple sleeve sisters that its like a a bad cramp, no big deal. I've given birth without drugs 3 times. ..so why am I so worried about this? Help!! If you've had a drain pulled please let me know your experience. Ummmm....no horror stories ok?
Okay, worried over nothing as it turns out. It's all good and great to have the thing out!!
I got mine pulled on Sunday - it was a weird feeling, I don't think I could of described it. Glad it is out and all is good
Did it hurt and how long?
I was nervous about that part too. My nurse removed mine before my hospital discharge. She told to me take a deep breath and hold it. I felt a burning sensation while she was pulling it out. I'm thinking the tube was in about 14" or so? The was no pain or anything once to was all out.
I didn't think it hurt, but def a creepy feeling when you can feel it going through your body as they pull it.
Same here no pain just a strange feeling!
I had mine out before discharging too. The nurse said it wouldn't hurt, just be a weird feeling, but it did hurt! Her saying it wouldn't hurt made it worse, I think. But, I was glad to have it out and not have to deal with it at home.
