I didn't have a catheter because my dr is the kind of dr that made me walk around right after surgery to get the lower pipes in gear again lol

Isnt part of it also so you dont pee while under or waking up.

I was really not looking forward to the cath but it wasn't so bad for me. It was uncomfortable being taken out but I was still on a morphine drip at that point so I barely remember it.

No not really doctor made sure I used the bathroom before I was under. Plus after you wake up you never pee right away it takes awhile because the anesthesia puts everything to sleep. That's why right after my surgery an hr later my dr had me walking around to wake up my lower section and to stimulate active blood flow throughout the body

Yup, like most others ,,,, mine was stuck in me only after I was out...

The Doc didnt even tell me it would be required... and when I woke up ,.,,, Surprise ....

Found it quite comfortable when it was in ... but going to the smoking section was a b***h, not to mention bathing. it just gets in the way ...

All said... the nurse who pulled it out was really hot... and no surprise I was hard as wood as soon as she touched my wood...

wouldnt go down with all the pain of her yanking it out.....

But her cleaning me up is a pleasant memory I will keep in my head for many years..........~

Mine hurt really bad cause the transport guys almost pulled it out...he tripped over the tube!....when they took me for my swallow test. And every time they'd make me get put of bed it would get caught on something and pull a little and every tug on it hurt....I'm like hello thats an extension of my junk!

It was a first time for me. I don't remember it going in and it felt weird coming out. No real problem. I wouldn't worry about it.

this is what I am not looking forward to.

I am 50 with an 18 y/o labido...

Maybe we can pay extra for this "service"?

I wasn't hard when they pulled it out, but then again I wasn't hard for like little under a week after either. My love muscle just regained strength a couple days ago. :D:lol::D

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
