My Bladder Signal Seems Gone

For the past two days I have been drinking at least 64 ounces and I don't have to pee. If I sit on the toilet I will go but I only go to the toilet because I realize I haven't all day .......what's the problem? 14days post op

That's so weird! I've been noticing the same thing. I have always had, I guess, a large bladder but now I'm drinking 5 times as much Fluid as I used to. I don't know why I never get the urge to go. I plan on asking my doc at my next appt.

That is SO what I was thinking 1 hour ago after I had to remind myself lol. I have been sipping from hour 1 of waking until now and it's not adding up. Follow up appointment is on Wednesday, I will ask the doc and try to remember to post back here! :)

Just my experience, but for a couple months post-op I either felt like I couldn't pee unless I sat there a long time and pushed, or I didn't have to go all day. Part of it was due to the anesthesia, which took quite a while to work it's way out of my body, and part was my body holding on to Water to facilitate fat metabolism. Weird.

I noticed this yesterday at work. I would usually go quite a few times but since this surgery, I went to the bathroom 2 times to pee in 10 hours. Lol. I go if I go in there but I don't have the urge to go anymore....glad I am not alone! Lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
