I had my sleeve done on June 15, 2017 and even though the first 2 weeks were ruff, I'm slowly doing much better. I find myself drinking over 64oz a water each day and only using the bathroom maybe once or twice. Is the common? Should I call the doctor? Is this serious?

I dont think that is something to ignore. I would call.

You may be dehydrated or something like your kidneys are not filtering correctly

Kidney problems can crop up suddenly. I'd go ahead to an ER and get checked out. If you're dehydrated they can give you some fluids, but they can do a quick blood test to check your kidneys while they're at it.

What color is your urine?

I 2nd going directly to the ER, please don't wait, it's better to find out, kidney function is nothing to take chances on. Good luck and keep us posted.

Did you end up finding anything out? Prayers

I literally just read all of the comments and I'm calling my surgeon now. My urine is light yellow, which is good, but I'm still not understanding the water retention. Keep you guys posted.

August 9th is my surgery date. Yikes I am so nervous and scared, but really excited

Well it is 100 degrees here and I am retaining water. My urine is light in color as always.

The more weight I lost the less I urinate because my bladder has so much more room, it holds a lot more. I urinate for what seems like forever now. Also not diabetic anymore either, far fewer bathroom trips period.

At least 4 bathroom trips a day is a good rule of thumb.. that's really not many! Once when you wake up, once at bedtime, and just twice all day.

Once a day means she wakes up and pees, but doesn't go again until the next morning. That is VERY concerning, no matter how big her bladder is.

It turns out I had a UTI and possibly a kidney stone.

Oh Lord, sorry to hear that, glad it's being taken care of.

Mine is that date too [emoji4]

Glad they figured out the problem. Keeping my fingers crossed you don't have a stone.

Wow this community is teaching me so much and it's only my first day here, glad you found out what the problem is

I would call the Dr. I was admitted on Wednesday morning for severe dehydration my kidney level was at 0.1 which is really bad cause normal is 0.6 and up. They had to give me At least 10 bags of fluids and they were going to leave me another day. It was really bad I was so weak and couldn't hardly walk because I felt like I was going to faint. My problem was that my stomach is still swollen so my fluids were going down right cause of the little space I have. Today I would have been on stage 4 which is being able to eat chicken and fish and because of this problem I was put right back to liquids for another week. It really sucks but get checked.
