Good morning Catsheba, had my CAPD catheter fitted 13 months ago.
A simple and quick procedure, as with any procedure you are not supposed to eat some hours before and you will I am sure be given laxatives to take before you goes to hospital.
Normally you are home the same day, I was last on the list on the day and had a small amount of discomfort so the doctor kindly gave me a little pethadin so I had to have an overnight stay.
Didn't really feel like eating after, the procedure was straightforward and has transformed my life, hope all goes well
