I had my revision surgery from band to sleeve on Nov 27th 2013 and my doc has had me on a lot of medication since surgery. However today I have noticed when I go pee it hurts and I feel like I have to urinate all the time but when I go it's very little and it burns and hurts like crazy. I'm calling the doctor first thing in the morning to see if I can be seen. Do you think it might be a bladder infection from all the medication and maybe not getting in enough water?

Sounds very specific. You should make an appointment with a Urologist. Maybe a trip to the ER is in order.

Sounds like it could be a UTI. Staying hydrated is crucial. Sounds good to call your doctor! Hope you feel better.

Sounds like a bladder infection to me (UTI). Drink as much Water as you can handle and call your doctor before it gets worse. If you start peeing blood then you need to go to the urgent care for meds. I am definitely not a doctor but have had these nasty boogers before! Good luck to you!! :)

Urininary Infections ( UTI) are common post op issues... I have had two...drinking more helps and the antibotic is needed to clear it out...Good Luck but don't let it go..it can go up into your kidneys

Hallen651,

We both had our revision from Band to sleeve on the same day! I, too, ended up with a horrible UTI and yeast infection. It was from all the antibiotics post op. Would love to connect with you.

Cranberry juice should stop the stinging - but you need something from the doc. Drink as much as you can and it will hurt less... Poor you, hope you feel better soon.

Definitely UTI.. Get some antibiotics and it will go away. I have dealt with this my entire life and it's awful. Jut get in ASAP ;)

Ugh, a UTI can be so uncomfortable. Antibiotics will clear it right up.

Thanks everyone for caring! I am calling the doctor first thing this morning to see if they can get me in today! Do they have to do an exam or is it just a urine test? This is my 1st time having this problem.

You usually tell them the symptoms and they make a diagnosis. Never had an an exam or a test... But not a pleasant thing to have, antibiotics usually clear it up quickly. Hope you feel better soon.

If there is a test, it is to sample your urine. Not a big deal at all. Glad you are being seen!

You should be able to just take a sample in.,

Well I went to the doctors yesterday and I don't have UTI so my doctor is sending out to have a culture done to see if I have any other infection, I don't have the symptoms anymore so I'm hoping everything comes back good.

Maybe was a kidney stone? Your symptoms really pointed to UTI, wow, hope it doesn't return!!!!
