Question:
Immediately after Lap. RNY?

Did you have a urinary catheter or a central venous IV (central line IV in your neck) immediately after surgery?    — Jjeaner (posted on November 22, 2005)

Hi Julie - I did have a catheter. They took it out pretty quickly but I had to have it re-instered because I was retaining too much fluid from the IV. This was on day 2 of my hospital stay, I believe.

Hi, Yes I had both, but I have really bad veins so they had to put a central line in and the cath they took out the day after surgery. Neither were a big problem for me. Nut
