How Often To Lap Banders Pee I'm Worried...



Recommended Posts

I try to drink 64 oz of liquid a day but I don't think I'm even close. I probably get down half of what I'm suppose to. I am only going to the bathroom 4 / 5 times a day. I'm worried in going to get a kidney, bladder or uti. I get occasional pain in my lower back or ab. Any information would be appreciated.

Lucky you! I'm up every 2 hrs EXACTLY at night peeing. But I've always had a small bladder - guess the weight loss didn't change that. My husband wants me to hook up a catheter when we travel. We stop at every single rest stop there is!

I think if you're drinking enuf, you're urine is light in color, not too smelly, and it doesn't hurt to urinate, you have nothing to worry about.

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
