male only Anyone with a prostate problem after surgery

[vincereautmori 323]

Just got sleeved 8/19, everything went well, but they wanted me to start urinating later in the day and I had a hard time with it. So they decided to catheterized me and had a hard time getting the catheter in, I'll go thru ten surgeries before I want to thru that again. It turned out my prostate had swollen, so now I'm on meds to shrink it and walking around with the catheter until next week. I hope it's a small complication and we button it up quickly, still no regrets. Any one else have that problem?

I couldn't pee for about 24 hrs and they had to use a catheter twice but finally evrything started working fine.

My surgeon puts in a catheter while in surgery. Luckily mine was removed the next day. I think it is pretty common to have urinary issues post surgery which is why he does it while under anesthesia.

I agree it was very uncomfortable and I was very sore for several days after but in the grand scheme of things it was just a minor nuisance.

Good luck!
