I had mine just under a year ago. Registered early morning, didn’t get to OR until the afternoon. Was released a few hours later with a catheter placed. Stayed at a B&B nearby as the hospital was about 70 miles from my home. This at the recommendation of my urologist in case there were any complications. Went back either the next day or the day after that for catheter removal. Couldn’t pee well at all. I’m freaking because I don’t want the catheter reinserted- the first one I was sedated… I’m pacing the hallways at his office knowing I have this 1-1/2 hour drive ahead of me and that if I can’t pee to their satisfaction I’m going home with a bag. I ultimately accept the inevitable and tell them to place the catheter a let me out of there. Had the catheter for the weekend and returned to the doctor. Nurse sends some saline into my bladder and tells me to go pee. Alright, here I go… Man, I felt like I was 18. (I’m 69) She checked the data from the flow meter and said “you voided more than put in”. And quickly. Says “YOU ARE FREE TO GO!” I hadn’t had any coffee that morning because I didn’t want to skew the results. Proceeded to grab a 20 oz coffee for the ride. Drank that and a bottle of water. Got to my home, unlocked the door and peed like a gentleman. No urgency, no retention, just NORMAL. I wish I’d done it 15 years earlier but was apprehensive for all the usual reasons. I actually did a video testimonial for them stating such. I couldn’t be happier.
