Today is the first day home from the hospital from sleeve surgery. I was not catheterized during surgery. 14 hours post op, I still was unable to pee, despite my best efforts and every "trick" in the book. Although I felt no pressure or sense of urgency, after a bladder scan, it was determined I had 400 cc of urine in my bladder. To my dismay, they did an "in and out' cath. It did the job, but it was a bit uncomfortable. It still took several hours of "dribbling" before I was actually able to fully go on my own. They upped up my IV Fluid and that seemed to help. I walked A LOT, but that did't seem to help.
