Needing to pee all the time



Recommended Posts

Not sure, but figure this is "probably" related to my sleeve (roughly 4 months post op) but the last few weeks my bladder has been on a different planet. I find myself needing to urinate more than ever, sometimes several times in a short span of time. Ive never had any urinary issues before, so thought this could be potenitaly be related to something with my sleeve. My "best guess" is im consuming too much B Vitamins and im peeing frequently to get rid of them. Of course this is completely a guess.

Is there anything related to a sleeve that could be causing this ? I do have an appointment coming up with my surgeon, so I plan on discussing it further then. And im pretty sure im way too young for run of the mill urology problems

And no I am not drinking crazy amounts of Water a day, hell if anything my Fluid intake is probably on the lower side (although my urines always clear except shortly after taking multi/b vitamins, and im not worried about dehydration)

Call your doc dude. It could be as simple as a more acidic pee cuz of ketosis, but it could also be a uti or some other underlying prob. Hope you get it figured out! Oh and it could just be because you're drinking lots of liquids! :D

Most common reason for frequent urination (when you're not consuming inordinate amounts of water) is a urinary tract infection/irritation. Very simple to test for. Kidney stones are very common post bariatric surgery...so it's important to follow up.

I’m having similar problems with frequency - but also accompanied by urgency. Not UTI related in my case, but I’m beginning to wonder if it somehow is related with having had VSG. (I’m almost 3 years post op)

Did you ever figure out what was wrong? I’m going through the same thing now.

This also just started for me and I'm 4 1/2 months post op. Like, all of a sudden I'm peeing every hour to hour and a half. Messes up my sleep and everything. Not sure what's going on there. Hopefully someone here can post about what they found out. I'd love to know if it's because of the surgery or if I have a uti or something.

I just looked it up and all signs point to a UTI. Guess I'm calling my doctor in the morning to get some antibiotics.

I got in to see my doctor today and yep, I have a UTI. I was given antibiotics and told to make sure I'm getting 300mg of magnesium and drinking even more fluids than normal (I already drink 70+ ounces per day but she said increase it for right now).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
