I had Lap RNY and yes I had to have a catheter. However, they did not put it in until I was under anesthesia. So, no biggie. Taking it out is also no biggie if you just relax. I am a real big baby too and honestly this was not a big deal. I also had to have a catheter when I had an emergency c-section 7 years ago and I was not under anesthesia when they put it in (again no biggie). The key is to RELAX.
