Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I had a picc line in when I was in the hospital after having gastric bypass surgery. They inserted while I was still sedated so I don't know if it hurt when they were placing it there but I do know it didn't hurt while it was in there. I could feel it, and because I was hooked up to so many different things my movement was limited.. But other than that is wasn't bad at all. It was only in there for three days though. It may have bothered me more if it had been in longer..

Every time I see my doctors they are leaning more & more in that direction. I am a little nervous about it but if it will ensure good growth for the baby & maybe even give me a little energy too, maybe it is the best thing? Anyone have this happen to them that can give me honest advice on what it is like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
