    My surgery was yesterday, and no cath for me. The War Hammer was not tampered with.

They allowed me to go to bathroom 2 times. One was early when I had been laying down being prepped and one about 20 minutes from surgery. I already had the iv tree and sugar water being dripped in. they walked me over put the bag hanging on the bathroom door hook and no issues. Some places put the cath when you are already out prior to surgery so you might not know.

No. They made me go before surgery. Surgery was only an hour or less.

No catheter for me thank goodness as I would not have been happy.

I never heard of using a cath with band surgery...I did have one with my colon surgery, but that was a 7+ hour procedure.

No cath here. My surg said they only Do that with longer surgies, or if they had to fix gallbladder or something else when they were in. Depends on your downtime I guess. :)

I have no idea I was asleep. I didn't have one inserted that I know of and if I did it was removed before I woke up. I just had to go to the bathroom before I was allowed to leave.
