How many of you had a catheter during surgery? After having one when I had my daughter and all the problems it caused me, I'm extremely scared of them. I'm using Dr. Reilly in Houston, Texas, by the way, so if anyone knows if he does, that'd be cool. Lol. Either way I'll be asking him when I see him, but just wondering about others.

I didn't have one. But they did have me use the bathroom right before surgery.

I didn't have one either.

didnt have one .. certainly in the UK they are rarely used for a simple short op like a lapband

Didn't have one

Dr. Riley was my surgeon and I didn't have a cath...I used the restroom immediately before I went into surgery and then the nurses had me use the restroom again before being discharged. You really aren't in surgery very long and once you are awake the recovery room nurses get you up and moving.

no i did not have one either. i used the potty before surgery and since i was not able to drink after midnight (that night before surgery) i guess i was dry

Thanks guys! =)
