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.

this is what I am not looking forward to.

I am 50 with an 18 y/o labido...

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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
