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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
