May I ask why everyone is so scared of a catheter?? Is there something I'm missing?

Just curious...

I did not have a catheter but sure wanted one! The first night was awful! I had my surgery at 1:00 p.m. and up until 4:00 a.m. the next morning I was dry heaving so much I would wet the bed! Plus I had to use the bathroom so badly that I couldn't wait for the nurse to come unhook me! If offered, I would gladly accept one!

I have had several over the years for various surgeries/procedures and none of them have ever hurt. Good luck!

Well I could say don't worry... That will be the least of your pain! But I'm feeling nice today!!

Hehe..

I had one.. but the thing is they put it in after I was out and they removed it before I woke up

Easy! No big deal...

I wasnt as concerned about pain because I knew Id have a 'magic button', I was more concerned with urinary tract infections.

My word your young!! Well then you get the extra extra nice me!

It will be fine if you doctors use one its going to be a very minor and quickly removed thing.

Actually I didn't even know I had one until the nurse told me if you don't pee soon then we are putting it back in!

I did. I'm the biggest baby ever. It didn't bother me at all. Except I could feel it when I walked. It didn't hurt though.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
