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).

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
