Did you have a foley catheter? I know this is TMI, but I am afraid that I may have my menses by Tuesday (surgery day). Perfect timing, right??

No they didn't do catheter on me...but they did ask me to tinkle before I left.

I didn't have a catheter either. It's a pretty short surgery, so you probably won't have to worry. They have seen it all, so don't worry, LOL

Nope, no catheter, thank goodness! Those things are the worst.

My nurse told me to go and get it all out so she didn't need to do one! Love that nurse!

No catheter for me either this week

I had one, and didn't find out til afterwards.. Uggh.lol

I had one which i wasnt happy about my dr told me i wasnt going to need one and i also requested not to have one. They put it after i was already out thank god. But after i was actually glad i got one. I was no way going to get up with all that iv i had in me

They told me to empty my bladder also so i didnt have to get one but i guess the dr changed his mind? It only felt uncomfortable when they took it out but bc i was on so much meds i didnt feel much

I didn't have one- thank God. I've had one before for another surgery and they are not good.

I'd ask your doc to be sure.

No, I didn't have a catheter.

This may be TMI, but I thought it might be helpful to tell you about my experience. I expected to start my period a couple of days before surgery. When the pre-op nurse called a few days before surgery, I asked her about wearing a tampon. She told me it would be fine and said to tell my pre-op nurse when I arrived at the hospital. My period didn't start like I expected it to, but I inserted a tampon the morning of surgery, knowing my period could start at any moment. I explained this to the pre-op nurse. She gave me a pad and panties and told me to remove the tampon. It was no big deal.
