@@ssbills - I ended up with a kidney infection after surgery which landed me in the hospital for 3 days. Call your dr asap and get on some antibiotics.

yeah see ur doctor asap

Yes, that happened to me as well and my urine is still too dark. The problem is, I can't drink enough fluids and trying to get these protein shakes in is rough. You should definitely see your doctor about it.

I had the same issue and my surgeon told me that the reason for this is the abdominal wall stitch on my left side where the stomach was pulled out of. It will resolve with time.
