I had one inserted after I was asleep and came out the next day. The feeling was almost a tickle sensation. No need to worry at all.

I had one once and it hurt coming out, sorry. Every since, I have dreaded the possibility of having one. Mind you I had a UTI, but that is a complication of inserting a foreign object up there. I'm not trying to scare anyone. I am just sharing my experience.

I just found out that they put one in BEFORE surgery and take it out one - two days later ..

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

Youre 15 years old? When are you planing surgery?

I was so juiced up on morphine I didn't care what they put in me. Plus getting up to pee is way more painful the first day or two. I was glad to have it.

I did not have one either. I did have one for my c-section 3 years ago. It didn't hurt even when they took it out. It was uncomfortable but was not painful. Not sure what the big deal is with the catheters.

I never would have known it was there. It was put in and taken out while I was under- no residual discomfort at all. I know it was there because they told me it would be.

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

Natedinsmoor2, I had a catherer but they inserted it while I was in surgery so I didn't feel it. Don't worry it wasn't bad at all. I got it removed when I was being discharged and it didn't hurt.

They prepped my catheter when I was already under so didn't feel a thing. It's a little awkward afterwards when it comes out but it's painless.

I did! Woke up with it and thought "ahh crap!" But honestly it was nice not having to get up and go to the bathroom all the time those first 2 days, with all the Fluid they pumped in me if be getting up every 5 minutes! It wasn't at all uncomfortable, even when the nurse took it out, I didn't feel anything!

      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.

      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! 😞
