I was told I'd have one and that surgery was two hours? Wth?




Bypass n sleeve take around 1.5-2 hours then at my hospital my pts stay in PACU for about an hour so like 4-5 hours about for whole ordeal. Everyone gets a catheter...something I'm not happy about...but every pt says they were glad after bc they didn't feel up to going to bathroom first day bc of drugs

Yeah had one. Surgery took Max 2 hours then everyone in Bariatric goes into HDU for 24hrs. Very happy I had catheter in as those 24hrs I couldn't get up to go.

I had one, they left it in for about 24 hours. Once I was off my IV they took out the Cath. Also I was sleeved and my surgery took about 1.5 hours according to my hubby.

I had both a catheter and a drain. The catheter was in overnight. I think I had both because I'd had 2 lap bands over 17 years. I don't recall how long the surgery was because I was alone in the hospital. The surgeon did say that they had to do a hernia repair and deal with a mess of stitches from the second lap band installation so I think it took longer than expected.

      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?
