Talk about pain...
I had to have that done a few times after my TT with a BL/BA. I didn't really feel anything until the last time cuz I was still so numb in my tummy. Still am for the most part. I don't disagree with you that it was pretty gross, but I looked so much better after all that fluid was drained off.
Once you have it done, they'll probably have to do it again so be prepared.
Good Luck on healing.

Yeah, I've had some pretty nasty stuff done in a doctor's office, but there are two rules with me. It can NOT hurt and it better look great when it's done. I had my wound debrided several times with my prior TT and it didn't hurt until they got to the "good" skin. that's one way they find the live skin that is still there. Also, they can numb you first with emla, which is a topical creme, after that takes affect, then they can use the novocaine through needles before they get down and dirty with the actual cutting. Next time ask to be premedicated. And if someone is driving you, a valium wouldn't hurt either!!!
