I would assume that you are cathered while during surgery....for most major surgeries you are, but they usually remove it long before you wake up. But I'm not positive about this.

OK,not sure who to listen to...are they going to put one on me or not

Ask your surgeon. I would suspect you'll have one during the procedure at least because they don't want you peeing on the table - but only your surgeon can address your specific situation.

No I don't think so. I am a nurse and we don't routinely put catheters in whilst patients are under anaesthetic and remove it before you wake up. Catheters are generally used when patients are unlikely to be able to get up to pee after surgery, to measure urine output to make sure your kidneys are working or after bladder or gynaecological surgery.

Do you have to wear a catheter during surgery?

Sent from my Z981 using the BariatricPal App

Ask your surgeon but for my RNY they will put a cath in for a day...for a sleeve they do not. Congrats on your journey!

I had one for mine. They put it in after I went under. Came out later that evening.

I was told no for sleeve surgery, the nurse told me the surgery is not long enough to need one. But every surgeon is different.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
