Awww I remember the drain hurting the most... skin around incision wanted to heal and that tube irritated the heck out of it but you know icky stuff needs to come out and better out then cause an infection ;)
Speedy healing! Best wishes to you. Having WLS was the best gift I ever gave myself... hope you will soon be saying the same!
Walk as much as you can it helps the gas pass.

Walking will help with the gas. Take your prescribed pain meds if you need them, especially to help you sleep. Hang in there. It will all get better soon!!
Congrats!!

The drain was my biggest issue post-op...it felt so gross, and it hurt like a mofo!! I still have a small dimple where it was, but it's gotten shallower as I've lost weight.
I woke up in between a memory and a dream...
