Embarrassing thing happened post op

[Chela 5]

Had my band yesterday, everything went well and they fixed a hernia I didn't know I had.

After I woke up I felt really wet. I found out that I had peed myself! I was so embarrassed having to tell the nurse. Ugh.

She had me sit in a chair while she stripped me bed and sprayed it down.

They did the barium test then I was out the door.

Seriously, my surgery was at 830 am and I was out at 1055 am. I'm pretty sure its because I peed the bed! LOL

Did anybody else do that?

Don't worry, I'm an RN and we've seen a little of everything! It didn't bother your nurse at all, believe me. It's truly not a big deal!

[Cindy C 150]

Its no biggie. If they were concerned about it they would have cathed you!

[slm2007 7]

I had a cath put in so I didn't have that happen but I'm sure it was nothing to worry about......nurses have seen it ALL...which is worse, having that happen or being the one who PUTS the cath in.....hopefully THAT little bit of TMI will make you feel better!!!

Oh my goodness! Your post made me giggle....I apologize because I would not have been happy had I woken up wet! Maybe it got you better service though......so that in itself is a blessing in disguise. I am sure the nurses have seen much worse!

Well they gave me a shot of phenrigran to control the nausea and I threw up in the bathroom while going. It was sickening but luckily my nurse had been through the banding 4 weeks prior.

Gosh, dont worry about it. What's a little pee. I had a major bowel resection in November and an ileostomy and I can tell you, I made a MUCH more disgusting mess when the bag leaked overnight. And I gather than when I go in for reversal of the ileostomy in 3 weeks, its more than normal for you to have several bowel actions before you get the hang of feeling when you have to go. I'm not looking forward to it, but I guess in that ward, they've seen it all before.

Dont feel bad, I was puking the entire time in the recovery room!

[More2Love 5]

TMI - but I had my period and let's just say they gave me a blood thinner TWICE in one day. My poor sheets had to be changed because I couldn't get up fast enough to use the bathroom in time. And this is coming from someone who is so careful when it comes to bleeding through clothes. Oh, I was mortified! But 6 weeks later, i don't care!

Hi, Chela, I did the same thing - spoke to a friend who had the surgery and she did the same thing too. Dont feel bad, I am sure it happens all the time.

I had to wear a DIAPER! Ok, they called it a brief, but that's what it was. Disposable underwear. I was all proud of myself when I went to get dressed with the nurse. I remember saying "Look, my diaper is dry! I TOLD YOU!" LOL. My surgery was at noon and I was gone at three. They said "You'll recover better at home." They were right!

[betheboo 40]

[screeden 21]

Lol! I am sorry that happened to you, but it is funny! Trust me nurses have seen a lot worse.
