  • Oh yeah. I'm 2 months out myself and all the water I drink means I stay in the bathroom. I also get up several times at night.

    I wonder why that happens? I’m glad I work from home because i have to go 15 or 20 minutes after I drink anything

  • Same here! I've always been this way though. Whenever I travel I need to know where all the bathrooms are immediately!

I actually discussed this with my PCP today. She said it could be one of three things, though only two of them were likely in my case. Either a bladder infection or something she explained happens when a person loses a significant amount of weight. Basically, you have a lot of tissue in that area due to the excess weight, but when you start dropping the pounds, you lose the padding, so to speak, that allows you to hold your urine the way you normally would. Of course, she was more eloquent when explaining it to me, but I can’t remember her exact wording or terminology. If my urinalysis comes back normal, she suggested I try Kegel exercises to see if it helps.

Yipes I already,have,problems that way, DO you mean my,urethral opening is going to get floppy. This is something to think about#

I developed this problem only after surgery. My PCP sent me to a uro for a workup who diagnosed me with a overactive bladder - but had no guesses how I developed that. I’m taking some medication that helps a bit but it’s still really really annoying. If I drink anywhere near my water goal for the day, I’m peeing every 30 minutes and sometimes rushing to get to the toilet before leaking.
Oh, and I have male anatomy.

Ive had this issue since I was in my 20s ( nothing to do with surgery). Its annoying because its really hard to get a good nights sleep. Have given up on trying to find the cause and solution as so far no Dr has come up with one
