female only Question?!?!?

[Jeniluv1978 22]

I have read several comments about catheters, does everyone get one??? And how long was everyone's drain in for?

You know, I honestly don't remember having a catheter. Maybe I didn't have one? As for the drain, it was removed the day I was discharged.

I had a catheter, but every surgeon is different. It, and the drain, came out the next morning. Catheter hurt, drain was the weirdest feeling ever, both were over very quick.

I had a catheter during surgery but it was out before I woke up because they want you to walk/pee as much as possible after you wake up. I had my drain in for 7 days. Having that removed.....well, dont forget to take deep breaths! Then you won't feel the weird feeling! It was over quickly though good luck!

I did not have a catheter, contrariwise, until they got me on the right pain meds I thought I was going to pee myself everytime I had to move.

Yes I had a catheter they took it out when I was release from the hospital and the drain is still in I got sleeved on 07/06/12 5 days ago and i go to get it remove tomorrow and removing the catheter hurt a little ...

Had both, removed the next am, released at 12...didnt leave till 5...waiting for paperwork! Neither one was a big deal to me. Drain felt a little weird when he took it out but it was so fast...catheter was uncomfortable, not painful, even when removing.

I had neither. I hear a lot of people talking about the drains, but I never had one put in. They threatened the catheter if I did not get up and get moving and pee, so I started moving. I had a catheter with one of my deliveries of my second son and it hurt.

I don't remember a catheter, but I had a drain for 8 days. It wasn't a big deal, either while it was in or during removal.

[Wheetsin 714]

Both my catheter and drain were removed the day after surgery, which is the day I was released.

[keldolbeth 262]

I had neither! But, I did have a little trouble peeing after surgery. I was drinking a ton and had the urge to go but couldn't get it started. lol I literally sat on the toilet for 30 minutes without anything moving sometimes. It felt a little like a bladder infection because I had to go about every 1-2 hours throughout the night but could only manage a tiny tinkle despite sitting there for a while. BUT, everything was fairly normal 24-36 hours later. It wasn't painful, just annoying.

Nope no drain and cath only during surgery , it was out before I woke up...ask your surgeon, I was worried about both myself , and was relieved to find out I didn't need to worry!

[Jeniluv1978 22]

I'm afraid of a drain getting pulled out by accident if I'm sent home with one bc I have 3 dogs!!

[IlyssaDel 42]

Did your surgeon say you will have a drain?..not all surgeons do them...I wouldn't worry to much, many people have had drains and I'm sure some have had more than one dog lol...don't worry about it!!!
