Well, after surgery I couldn't pee on my own so it most definitely wasn't optional.

After three of my four joint replacements I had the catheter in for 24-36 hours.

My catheter was taken out immediately after my sleeve surgery. I got up to use the toilet about 15 minutes after I woke up from anesthesia.

Ask your surgeon what he/she usually does.

They didn't use a catheter on me or anyone else but I was outpatient so that may have something to do with it.

I did not have a catheter and was inpatient.

I had a catheter during surgery and recovery but as soon as I was rolled to my room, it was out and was told to start walking as long as I wasn't still drowsy.

My surgeon doesn't use catheters or drains. I was so relieved when they told me that. I know I would have had surgery either way, but it was just one little thing that made me feel better.

was the pain pretty bad when you woke up?

Honestly, no. They kept those pain meds coming. But when it was time to walk, that's when I felt it. It was mainly from the stitches pulling. It didn't make me want to pass out but I didn't want to walk, but once you push past that, it honestly gets better.

They put one in when I was in surgery and I had it for the first day of recovery then they took it out.. I had to get up and walk so I was glad to be rid of it, but it didn't hurt at all to have it removed.

Ok thank you. I can handle some incision/cut soreness but I worry about horrendous, sharp pain inside my body. I can deal with the outside pain but idk about the inside. My surgery is in 2 weeks. I am so scared!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
