I didn't have one, but my husband (who had a different surgeon) did

Oh, sorry, it's just one of the perks. Enjoy!

I had one, but I was also a lapband removal and spent 3 days in hospital. My surgeon's office went over all that before surgery.

I had one and it was no big deal. Just stunk having to walk the halls carrying your purse of urine lol. Comes out day after surgery don't worry you'll get through it!

Won't have my sleeve until November, but in past surgeries the catheter has been put in after they had me under anesthetic. When the nurse takes it out, it's not so bad. I don't know what your modesty level is, but I find that the older I get, the less I care. Just do what you gotta do and let me go home.

_{I think it depends on the surgeon. I didn't have one. I was up going to the washroom hours after surgery.}

[Beach Lover 1,084]

It's honestly no big deal. You won't even be awake when they put it in and there is no pain when they take it out. No worries!!

Not everyone gets cathed.

[Iniysa 157]

I didn't have one. (Shrug)

[TJL 222]

nope, didn't have one, I guess it depends on your Doc.

I was SO happy to have one post-surgery. I was petrified of getting out of bed. (Well, I did get out to walk the hall, but that was with help.) The nurse removed it the next day, I think.

[kimbernada 190]

Ha, well, I *know* she removed it, just not clear if it was the day after surgery - or was it later the same day of surgery? Hmmm...

I just got sleeved aug. 27. I had no idea but to be honest the nurse took it out early in the am the next day. You are still a bit drugged so you don't care.
