No Urge To Urinate After Surgery

Has anyone else has this problem? I can urinate just fine but my body no longer gives me that "need to go" feeling. So I just go empty my bladder periodically throughout the day. Told my surgeon and he said that has nothing to do with the surgery. Well Mr. DR. my pee-pee wss fine before you stranguled my stomach. So I am calling the urologist.

No I was not.

Yes, go see the doctor about it. I don't have to as often as I did, but I attribute that to the change in my eating and drinking habits. Not feeling the urge isn't normal after the surgery. Keep us posted.

Have your gas pains gone away yet?

Will do. Gas has not gone away. It's not as painful as last week. Good thing is when the gas pain comes it does pass shortly thereafter. But my back is killing me!!! I wish I could go get a massage but I can't lay on my stomach. :(

I was just about to say this exact thing, this happens to me when I'm on pain meds... except I have a really hard time peeing as well.
