Do you get a catheter placed during surgery?

Don’t know for sure, did not wake up with one

No. The sleeve surgery was so fast they said it wasn't necessary.

They were wrong. I got so much IV fluid and I peed the bed b4 I realized what was happening. Still sleepy when it happened.

I had a catheter for child delivery and I am a nurse, so no big deal either way. It feels a little weird, bit it is temporary. Not something to worry about.

I did not and didn’t have any problems. If you are worried I’d ask your surgeon.

They might, I had one, but it was placed and removed all while I was under.

I did and it was no big deal. They removed it once I had to get up and walk and recovered a bit from anesthesia. I have had them multiple times for surgeries and it never hurt, a tiny bit of pressure but nothing really

My Doc didn't require it

Nope.

They had me pee right before surgery. They said if I couldn't go right before, then they would use a cath in surgery. Luckily, no problems, so I never needed the cath.

Thanks for all the great responses! I asked my surgeon and he said NO! Thank goodness! I don’t know just something about it freaks me out ?
