My surgery is coming up and I'm just wondering ..

I did not have one thankfully. My surgery was December 5th. I also had a single incision.

No catheter here.

May I ask why everyone is so scared of a catheter?? Is there something I'm missing?

Just curious...

I did not have a catheter but sure wanted one! The first night was awful! I had my surgery at 1:00 p.m. and up until 4:00 a.m. the next morning I was dry heaving so much I would wet the bed! Plus I had to use the bathroom so badly that I couldn't wait for the nurse to come unhook me! If offered, I would gladly accept one!

I just don't want it to hurt !

I have had several over the years for various surgeries/procedures and none of them have ever hurt. Good luck!

I just don't want it to hurt !

Well I could say don't worry... That will be the least of your pain! But I'm feeling nice today!!

Hehe..

I had one.. but the thing is they put it in after I was out and they removed it before I woke up

Easy! No big deal...

Okay thanks well I'm only 15 so that's another reason I wondered

I wasnt as concerned about pain because I knew Id have a 'magic button', I was more concerned with urinary tract infections.

My word your young!! Well then you get the extra extra nice me!

It will be fine if you doctors use one its going to be a very minor and quickly removed thing.

Actually I didn't even know I had one until the nurse told me if you don't pee soon then we are putting it back in!

They said the same to me!

I did. I'm the biggest baby ever. It didn't bother me at all. Except I could feel it when I walked. It didn't hurt though.

I must say though a catheter in a male is very different than a catheter in a female. Very different anatomy!!
