I was reading a post in "The Men's Room" And the topic of getting a cath came up, some had it some didn't.

So how many out there did verses didn't

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.

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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
