Catheter or no? Days in hospital?

[suchsh 14]

Go in for my preop on Oct 31 and I know my questions will be answered. But did any of you have a catheter during surgery? How many days were you in the hospital before you were released to go home?

Yep, I had a catheter. It was removed about 3:30am the day after surgery. I was only in the hospital 24 hours, and that was from check-in for surgery to discharge. Super quick.

No catheter, and I went home the next day after surgery.

No catheter but I almost wished I had one -- when I woke up in recovery I was desperate to pee (they pump a lot of fluids into you!) and had to have the nurse bring me a bed pan since they wouldn't let me out of bed.

My surgery was early Wednesday morning and I was out at noon on Friday.

No catheter, no drain tube, went home 24 hours laterr.

Catheter but only during surgery.

2 days and it was nice to be cared for.

I had a catheter and it was removed the next morning and I was there for 2 days. Good luck!

No catheter for me. I stayed in the hospital the evening of surgery and was discharged the following afternoon.

Catheter, but I barely even remember it, that's how quick and uneventful it was.

I had a catheter which was removed early the day after surgery. I was in the hospital 3 days, two nights.
