I've only heard of a couple of cases where "Mr Happy" actually developed a severe infection and shriveled up and fell off within the last week so I am quite sure you'll be fine <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

Muhahhahahahahahahhahha (Sorry but I just couldn't resist)

I had one at Cleveland Clinic Florida. It honestly wasn't a big deal and it didn't hurt coming out for me. Maybe I just have a high pain tolerance.

I had one put in while I was awake by a female nurse in the ICU. That was probably the most awkward thing I have ever done in my life. At least she kind of looked like Angelina Jolie. It is kind of painful when going in and coming out, but only for a minute or so.

As others have already pointed out not all surgeons will insist on one. One benefit is that you will be able to piss like a racehorse for about a day after they remove it :)

I was worried about the exact same thing!!! My wife asked me if I was nervous about the surgery and I said no, I was nervous about a tube being jammed in my d***. I even asked the nurse a bunch of times to make sure I was out before they inserted it. I think I need a tatto that says "Exit Only"

I woke up with a catheter. Was not a big deal. I had a morphine iv pain pump. Hit the button for iv morphine just before. The nurse took it out at 0600 the next day. When it's in it may feel like you have to urinate a little bit. It was not at painful at all. Only took a second to for the nurse take it out. A ballon in your bladder holds the Cather tube in place. When that is deflated the Cather comes out easily.

Well, I'll be. I never realized there was a balloon on the other end of it. It is a good thing no one told me about this before hand or I would have chickened out.

      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.
