I felt like all I did was pee the first week (of course that's cause I was drinking as much Water as an elephant!)

I've found that anytime I've been under anesthesia and/or on pain meds, my bladder is slow to respond. I've had 2 c-sections and lap band and have had the same problem every time.

If you are unable to pee you need to speak to your Dr urgently. It is important that your kidneys are working properly. After my hysterectomy I was fine whilst on the drip but once they took it out I obviously wasn't drinking enough , therefore not peeing enough and the nurses were very concerned. I had to consciously make myself drink. You may not be drinking enough so make sure you drink the recommended amounts even if you are not thirsty. If you are drinking and still not peeing then get back to your Dr - fast.

Were you catheterized during your surgery? That can cause some residual problems a couple days after,

If you're having problems urinating I would contact your doctor immediately. It may be nothing, but it could be a urinary tract infection or even kidney issues too,

Whatever the case, it's much better safe than sorry.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
