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...

standard easy rule out infection questions. also speaks to hydration.

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!

      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.

      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!
