My husband did not, nor did I. Our surgeon does not opt for them, says they cause too many issues with infections. I would ask your surgeon specifically, there is such a wide range of practices shared here.
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
They put mine in while I was under, but wouldn't take it out until I was ready to go home. It made walking in the hospital really uncomfortable.
The next time I have trouble starting the lawn mower, I'm going to call the nurse who took the catheter out. She had a very strong, fast pull.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Ne te quaesiveris extra
do not seek outside yourself
I had my catheter inserted after I was put out in surgery. But it wasn't taken out until two days later. Then, I was still u able to pee (anesthesia can really mess with you) and had to be re-cathed). It was the first time I was happy about getting one too lol! I had to pee so bad but just couldn't make it happen!
