Is it true about catherder



Recommended Posts

I Have Had 2 C-sections And Also This Surgery And I Had One For The C-sections But Not For This But If They Do Give You One It Will Be After Your Asleep, But It Is Not Painful To Come Out And You Will Be On Antibiotics So It Should Not Cause An Infection.. It May Be Nice If You Have To Pee Right After Surgery But If You Do Not Which You Will Be On liquid For Days Before The Surgery And Nothing For 12-20 Hours Before So I Do Not Think That You Will Have To Go To The Bathroom..

I had a catheter put in while I was still under anisthesia (thank goodness--wouldn't have wanted to see what it felt like going in, that's for sure!). When I woke up I couldn't really feel it. It wasn't until I got up to go for my first walk that I could feel it. It wasn't as painful as I thought it'd be. In the long run it was tremendously helpful because it hurts to get up and down after surgery (using stomach muscles is painful right after your tummy has been poked into). I was worried it'd hurt coming out, but it didn't really.

Don't worry, it's not bad at all.

I did not have one, either. I went to the bathroom right before I went in for surgery. The surgery is so quick and Dr. Ortiz has an excellent anesthesia, so you wake up completely alert about 30-45 minutes later.

Anyway, don't worry about a catheter!

I didn't have one, and would almost wish I did, just because I had to pee SO BAD when I got to my room.

Other than that, it was a little painful to have to get up and go every now and then, but at the same time, it had me up and walking, which is good.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
