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).

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
