To All Owners of a "Mr. Happy": Just think about how much happier Mr. Happy is going to be after you're all slimmed down and the babes think you're one hot dude! You just have to look at the "Big Picture", even if Mr. Happy isn't feeling very Big at the moment . . . :wacko:

a plastic tube down Mr. Happy?!?!? Are they insane. Okay men how bad was this catheiter experience? Mr. Happy has been hiding ever since this information has been disclosed.

When's your surgery date? Mine's the 21st and I've been asking my fiancé repeatedly how his catheter was (he had brain surgery.)

It wasn't bad according to him, but he did pee on the nurse when it was being removed. I think you and Mr.Happy will be just fine :)

I woke up without it in so I guess I was lucky

I woke up without it in also and without my cpap being used. I was surprised, but then a female nurse had to put it in 2x after I failed to go normally after a day. 2x because they had to let me try again after the first time. Oh the horrors. I think that was worse then the surgery. LOL!

I woke up at 830pm in recovery got to my room with no catheiter. I tried to use the restroom and could not, tried and tried till 430am still no go. They did a bladder scan and it was 1100cc I was in tears. I told the nurse I didnt give a Da@# what it felt like do it now! The put in a in and out type and with the relief I got, the little bit of discomfort is nothing. It really isnt that bad.

Captain Killjoy reporting in .... I gotta be honest ....

I had a totally unrelated surgery six years ago. In the weeks after the catheter came out, I developed scar tissue in my urethra. The urologist said some people are much more sensetive, or whatever, but it basically narrowed the urethra, and peeing took forever. This wasn't inflammation or swelling, but actual scar tissue.

Over the last few years the scar tissue has lessened, but I was never back to 100%.

For the VSG surgery in August, I had to have a catheter again. I told the surgeon they will need to have my urologist on hand just to put it in. I wanted to make sure a doctor who knows ME was inserting it.

Sadly, I've developed scar tissue again. There is no way to prevent it, said the doctor. As long as I can pee, there's no cause for alarm. If it narrows too much, then I will need a special surgery. Right now it takes me about two minutes to pee, because it comes out so slow.

Sorry to be Major Buzzkill here, but you guys ought to know.

I had a catheter. It was inserted while I was under anesthesia. I truly needed the catheter because the anesthesia shutdown everything. I truly felt nothing when it was removed. I was so tired at the time of removal I did not care who removed it. The female nurse was 100% professional. Truly it was no big deal. Do not worry about the catheter.

I just want you boys to know that the first thing they taught us in nursing school when it came to placing catheters in men is "grab it like you own it". And that's the motto we go by lol

I asked the operating room nurse that question before I went under and she said absolutely no! Unless I acted up would they reconsider :) They wanted me up within hours out of receovery to move around, walk and hit the rest room when I needed. I took full advantage of that opportunity!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
