Totally TMI, but this seems to be the place to ask it. Since I gained weight I noticed that I started leaking a little bit (I don't have children). I attribute it to the extra belly fat pressing on my bladder. Do you think this will go away as I lose weight? A girl can only do so many kegels. Again, TMI. I'm sorry but I don't want to have to wear a pad for the rest of my life.

Mine has gone away after just 25 lbs down... no more Vesicare!

I had very leakage before my surgery and it has totally gone away!

Being obese can cause weakened muscles. Normally referred to as "Stress Incontinence" Here is a great article http://www.livestrong.com/article/209381-what-are-the-causes-of-leaky-bladder/

The question at hand is, would it go away with weight loss. I am not a nurse, nor a doctor, but I would imagine as you lose weight your muscles will become more toned and could help reduce if not correct the problem.

I used to have a problem, but it has gone away completely.

I wouldn't have even thought to have asked - but really encouraged by the responses!!

I hope so!! It is one of my current issues as well...I was embarrassed but asked my patient coordinator if i would be able to wear panties after surgery (and pad) otherwise I would be leaving puddles around like a new puppy!!

Gone already!

Great question! Yes, since gaining more recently, I've noticed a little leakage myself (no kids, and im the friggin QUEEN of Kegals...). I would imagine this will resolve itself as we lose weight...im encouraged by the answers above...Whew!

I had this problem too, thankfully mine went away after about sixty pounds lost! Good luck!

This is something to look forward to!!!

Also don't hold it for 8 hours either

You do realize that "women only" makes all men immediately click on a thread don't you?

Lol, you're such a bad boy.

I noticed that I no longer have this problem either. I've lost a little over 30 pounds.

My problem was solved after about 30 lbs lost (80 lbs lost total so far)
