I’m a 53 year old guy having the sleeve done in 5 days. I have a giant fear of catheters. I had to have a catheter inserted up my penis after surgery because I was unable to urinate on my own. I tried and tried and nothing would come out so the nurse had to do a catheter. I was brave. It was a strange feeling. It didnt hurt it was just irritating. The catheter drained all the urine from my bladder and after that I was able to go on my own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
