I was banded Weds the 22nd and I am concerned that my urine is green and I mean pee green? Has anyone else experienced this. Also my stomach feels like a basketball and I look 9 months pregnant very bloated!!!

Call your doctor, this is nothing to fool around with.

yeah, id call right away!

good luck,

Sounds like you have a UTI. Call your doc or if he's closed for the weekend, go to a clinic

what's UTI?

I am such an idiot. Don't worry, I have figured it out.

Sorry Merryn! You aren't an idiot! I'm just a brain fried senior who hopefully will be an RN in a month; I'm so immersed in the "lingo" right now that I forget. I do apologize...what's the use of trying to help if the post makes no sense?!! Glad you figured it out!

Have you been drinking only green fluids? Let us know what your doctor says.

Take care.

My doctor's office said they sometimes give you a blue liquid during surgery basically so, incase they accidently puncture your stomach, they'll see the blue fluid. They said peeing green is a result and will go away in a couple of days.

I didn't have the green pee, but my belly was really big for a couple of weeks. Does it hurt or burn to pee? If it does, then you likely have a UTI. The green pee may also be from your vitamins. Too much B vitamins can change your pee colors. But, if you're worried, call the doctor.

I agree with calling the doctor. I have been active in this forum forever and this is the first I have read about green pee being a symptom. It could be something they need to know about and doesn't sound normal.

As far as looking pregnant and being bloated, I think most of us have a touch of that right after banding. I remember my husband looking at me after about a week out and he was joking . . . I thought you were supposed to be getting smaller??? It is normal to have some swelling.

That sounds like something that should be mentioned BEFORE you leave the hospital!

My doctor told me the same thing about the green urine. They also warned that my lips and tongue could be blue because of the dye that they use to check for leaks.

That really would have freaked me out if I didn't know about it before hand. :drool:
