Drains
Penny 
First one came out at one week. I did not feel anything but that funny snakey feeling as they pulled it.
Second one came out this Monday (3 weeks). I'm not gonna lie...It hurt so much that I screamed. Wicked painful. Guess cause it was in longer...I dunno.
I was caught completely off guard. Was not expecting the pain. I had to take Tylenol and lie down for a while.

I had 6 drains and they came out between 1 and 4 weeks. The worst one was in my right arm - it felt like my arm was turning inside out. The 2nd to last drain to come out was in my groin, and I didn't even know my wife had pulled it out, I was *****in cause it was taking so long and she replied that it was already out ! Once they came out the recovery really picked up steam, maybe because it was easier to do EVERYTHING with them gone.
Mine from my lbl were held in with metal stitches. It kinda hurt when they cut those out, but the actual drain pulling did not hurt. I pulled out my drains from my breast lift. Did not hurt at all.

At a week out, the two from behind my ears, 2 from arms, 2 from thighs, and 1 from my breast came out. One felt a little snakey, but not enough to roll my eyes and need to lay down. Before I left at 2 weeks, 2 in the mons came out, and that was just relief. I came home with one and it fell out around 3 weeks out. No pain, just felt a little wiggly.

I had two in my abdomen one came out a week after my tt and the other a week later... they didn't hurt being removed. They were both stiched in, and when he was removing the tape or the stich (not sure which) hurt a little, but it wasn't unbearable.
I am sure you will be fine. I am so glad they are gone... I hated those things.
