Okay, this is a weird one I think... Ever since I had the lap-band surgery on Feb 15th, I don't feel the urge to pee anymore... it's something I do now if I remember to. I don't have any incontinent issues or anything... it's just weird. Has anyone else experienced this?

I would call your doc . you may have had a cath. But you might have a UTI or something ? call your doc about it .

I've talked to my Dr... he said he's never heard of that happening before and that it should pass but it's been 2 more weeks already.

how long ago did you talk to him ? If you talked to him a week ago and its still going on you should call again .

After I had my surgery I would have the urge to pee but then would i would go sit down to go I could not go or it took a lot of effort. That lasted about a week .

HTH

When you do think about it and go in and pee---is it of normal amount? Normal in color? Any pain?

When you think about going---do you feel it once you think about it, or is there a total absense of feeling regarding urination?

I would have the answers to all these handy and make the Dr. listen, that something is off!!!

Let us know!

I just re read this and sort of laughed. If he's never heard of this before how does he know its going to pass ???

Mindy

I know! It is almost funny...

It doesn't hurt when I pee... it's normal in color... and I don't feel the urge at all when I think about peeing. It's really weird... it's something that's off, but not of like a huge concern.

When I had my hysterectomy I lost all sensation on the outside of my left leg from mid thigh to below my knee---no reaction to painful stimuli--nothing! Occasional burning feeling---with no regular cause....

Finally they determined, that my surgery took so long, and was so invasive, it was permanent nerve damage.

Wonder if there is a nerve anywhere that could have been involved?

How strange......have you ever let it go too long, with not having the normal reminder? Is that going to be a problem. I am really not just asking if you ever peed your pants just to laugh at ya!!!

And if I do--------feel free to kick me in the leg!

I try to remember to go a few times a day. I haven't had any incidences or anything... I know it's not healthy for my bladder to hold it all day or anything though... and when I'm in pain, I forget to remind myself to go. My only guess is that there was nerve damage somewhere... *sigh*

Are you on any narcotic pain meds? Sometimes that will happen with narcotics.
