Catheter for Roux en y?
I have surgery coming up on the 14th at HRRH. Can anyone tell me are we given a catheter for this surgery, and if so, are we asleep when we get it? I have had one in the past for a previous surgery and the outcome of the catheter was NOT good. I couldn't pee on my own for 6 wks. Had to learn to self catheterize...and it was so painful not to mention the infection I got. Scared to death of that again. I have been reading on here the couple days and people are saying they had one??
You have one in Ottawa...I would assume it is the same wherever you have your RNY? They put it in after you are out and take it out before you wake up....

The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
None for me at Guelph either
