Bladder Question from Doc?



Recommended Posts

Since my surgery in December, I've noticed the nurse asks the normal questions "When was your last BM" "How have you felt" "any changes"...however the one question that I've been curious as to why they as is "are you have any issues peeing".. umm...? I'm confused.

Have any of you had this question from your clinic? And if so, have you inquired as to why they ask that?

I do notice I pee a tiny amount and more frequently..nothing else out of the ordinary..So why the question...

That makes sense. I just wonder why they didn't ask that when I had the band. To me, I was more prone to dehydration with the band due to constant vomitting.

But yeah...That is very true!! :)

Yep... standard. Also frequency (every couple hours). And clarity (should be clear or nearly clear).

How do u get past the feeling of having to pee all the time?

I had surgery I 7/17 and it just started today. The feeling like I'm pregnant and the kid sits on the bladder. I know I'm not pregnant cause I had a hysterectomy in 99'. Is anyone else having this issue??? Please help !!!

Drinking as much as we do, we will ALL be pee-ing a LOT!!! Shoot, I am drinking 100 oz a day. It's gotta go somewhere!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
