    Had my surgery...

    I had my gallbladder taken out today. Just saw dr who said I had chronic inflammation and they took 3 stones the size of golf balls. No bloody wonder I was in pain.
    Let me tell you child birth is a walk in the park as a pose to the bloody drainage thing I have in!
    In overnight at the moment, looking forward to having drainage out and being in my own bed.

    I'm glad it went well, sounds like it was the right move! The drain sounds awful (I didn't need one). I hope you are home soon.

    I've had loads of drains removed, some after a much longer time - it doesn't hurt, it just feels weird. Immediate relief after they come out.

    Rest up & I hope you recover quickly.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery. I had a drain after my GB removal. I was completely freaked out about getting it removed as so many people had told me it hurts. I was a mess and the nurse reassured me that it wouldn't hurt and it really didn't. It was nothing. Like MD said, it was kinda a strange feeling but definitely not painful at all.
