Was just wondering do you have a catheter with dr Garcia? I will have to refuse one if so.

Are you talking about a urinary catheter? Why do they use them? I can't imagine why.

I don't think so. I havent heard anyone say that they had one. Some surgeries require a catheter but I am not sure.

No Dr. Garcia does not use a catheter

No, your only under for 1 hour in surgery and you'll be able to go to the bathroom within 4 hours if you need to.

Great! I saw on a u tube video someone had a catheter and my sister had one with her sleeve surgery but that was in the US.

I have seen so many I couldn't tell you which one. But as a nurse I know that is common for surgery so I was just curious.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
