Drain, tell me how it feels to get it pulled

Drain, tell me how it feels to get it pulled. Ok eveyone tell me how it felt to get the drain out. Be honest now. Remeber I will be 10 days out and possibly on no pain meds. I may take a does before going in to get it pulled just for safe measure. 

Erin i dont really know because i didnt have one but everyone else says that it doesnt hurt. so that is all i have to go on. It is over in just a second so dont fret too much about it . Say a prayer before you go in and God will help you handle it. Love you

I had my drain in for two weeks. I did notexperience any pain. I felt a tug and it was out.....fast. Tara

Hey Erin, Dr. Ramaswamy just told me to hold my breath for 5 seconds. It was a cakewalk compared to the pain after surgery. It stung a bit to get the stitches cut from the tubing. But like some others have said, yes it is very fast when they take it out. Your life will be MUCH MUCH better without it. Or atleast mine was. :) So, I wouldn't take pain medication before you go. I can tolerate a lot of pain and it was just a tug. Anyway, I hope that helps. Cheryl

Hi Erin, How is it going?  I am hanging in there.  When is your appointment to get your staples and stitches out.  Take care girl.  Mine appointment is this weds, at 10:45am.  Love Susan

Thursday at 10:45am.   I want to know your story still girl! Call me!

Hi! I just had my drain out last week. It is a strange feeling and hurts a lttle, but it only lasts about 3-5 seconds. Like she said earlier, piece of cake.  Don't be apprehensive about it, there is nothing to it.  Elisa

i had a wee illeus when i went to the dr to have mine removed.  my stomach was tender but i had no other symptoms at that time [woke up the next morning with fever and pain--went to the er and was resolved in a few hours]  it was a tug and then it was gone and i felt better.  didnt really hurt...was a bit uncomfortable for a few minutes.  since it is a flat drain it slides out easily.  no worries!!!
