I had open ab surgery. I got very sick and could not even keep water down for 2 weeks. They put an NG tube in and I can tell you that will never happen to me again. That was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever experienced. I felt like I was going to choke to death. Horrible, horrible experience...I would rather vomit. It didn't hurt to take it out thought...it was very quick and a relief. The cath does not hurt...just feels a little weird. They just yanked by drains out...it hurt a little.
For those of you that had NG tube for LAR CRC how uncomfortable was it and how painful was removal? Dont much fancy having a tube in my nose through to my stomach - is it always necessary?
And more for the men, how did you find bladder catheter, was it painful to pass urine and eventually remove?
Are local anaesthics ever used for removal of these or vacuum / JP drain removal from operation site?
Probably sounding a bit un macho but want to get my head round what may becoming next...
Many thanks
Charlie
