Belama 9 Posted March 2, 2013 2 weekends before pre op diet. That worries me most I think. I crave Carbs. Guess this is why I need this. Anyone have any concerns about a nurse shoving a tube down the tube. I'm thinking I would rather be swimming in shark infested waters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Foor 655 Posted March 2, 2013 They usually wait till after your sleeping to put the tube down the tube so it's not that bad. Now when they take it out that is a different story. Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was the same as you, though!!!! There's a recent thread about this on here: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/57964-omfg-they-are-going-to-shove/ Best to you. Rock on.

mark! 449 Posted March 3, 2013 I was worried, but was informed by the nurse 2 weeks pre op that I'd be asleep before any tubes went anywhere. I did wake up with a sore throat from the breathing tube, no worries though. No effects at all from the catheter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh H. 4 Posted March 4, 2013 The only tube that I had was down my throat. They waited until I was under to put it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vs24 25 Posted March 6, 2013 I was rolled into the surgical room.... fell asleep... and woke up in my room. My throat felt nothing during or after. My incisions never hurt. The ONLY problem I had was the following days getting rid of the gas. I'm 1 week out and feel about 95%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keystone28 18 Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah dude, they do that after they knock you out, and its gone by the time you wake up. No worries! Trust me, the only pain your gonna be concerned about is in your stomach, and thats a breeze! Im 6 days post op, and the pain is minimal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGKirk 855 Posted March 11, 2013 No catheter, no pain, uneventful recovery, great results so far! The only downside was my belly being shaved, but it's all grown back now. Life is good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sun Devil Fan 39 Posted March 20, 2013 I'm four weeks out, tube down after I was out, and was gone when I woke up. No catheter was used either which I was very happy about! The one thing I didn't think about...but should have, they shave you during prep! I overheard the nurse tell the orderly that got me from I was checked into say "nipples to groin should be fine" and then buzzzzzzzzzz! Pretty funny! I'm down 28 pounds and have not had any regrets!
