jessica143 23 Posted December 7, 2012 Anyone that has had.surgery have a hard time urinating? I haven't gone since they took the cathedra out at 5am it's now 8:15pm I can feel my bladder is full but it just won't come out.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jodimc 117 Posted December 7, 2012 Jessica, this isn't uncommon. It can be a side affect from anesthesia, but usually has more to do with the bladder adjusting to the catheter being gone. Ask if they have a peri bottle that you can use to spray warm Water over your privates as you sit on the toilet, that may help. If not sometimes they will give meds to help or re-cath you for a little while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get back on that plane and go back where you came from..enough is enough already..although my issues are minor compared to some of the complications some of you have to go through I'm not trying to make light..

I'm praying you will breeze right through the operation...you will be a bundle of doubts and emotions the days leading up to your surgery date plow right through the doubts and know it's normal..if you weren't emotional than that would be abnormal.. 1 momlambert reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
