I'm drinking water but not urinating??

[jiminy_cricket 14]

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.

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.

[Berry78 4,259]

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.

[Berry78 4,259]

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