I didn't have a catheter because my dr is the kind of dr that made me walk around right after surgery to get the lower pipes in gear again lol

Isnt part of it also so you dont pee while under or waking up.

I was really not looking forward to the cath but it wasn't so bad for me. It was uncomfortable being taken out but I was still on a morphine drip at that point so I barely remember it.

No not really doctor made sure I used the bathroom before I was under. Plus after you wake up you never pee right away it takes awhile because the anesthesia puts everything to sleep. That's why right after my surgery an hr later my dr had me walking around to wake up my lower section and to stimulate active blood flow throughout the body

Yup, like most others ,,,, mine was stuck in me only after I was out...

The Doc didnt even tell me it would be required... and when I woke up ,.,,, Surprise ....

Found it quite comfortable when it was in ... but going to the smoking section was a b***h, not to mention bathing. it just gets in the way ...

All said... the nurse who pulled it out was really hot... and no surprise I was hard as wood as soon as she touched my wood...

wouldnt go down with all the pain of her yanking it out.....

But her cleaning me up is a pleasant memory I will keep in my head for many years..........~

Mine hurt really bad cause the transport guys almost pulled it out...he tripped over the tube!....when they took me for my swallow test. And every time they'd make me get put of bed it would get caught on something and pull a little and every tug on it hurt....I'm like hello thats an extension of my junk!

It was a first time for me. I don't remember it going in and it felt weird coming out. No real problem. I wouldn't worry about it.

Maybe we can pay extra for this "service"?

I wasn't hard when they pulled it out, but then again I wasn't hard for like little under a week after either. My love muscle just regained strength a couple days ago. :D:lol::D

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
