linmonte 2 Posted January 1, 2013 Sleeved on 28th. While in hospital I had trouble but just thought it was normal since I wasn't getting much fluids. Lots of pain since I came home. Feeling better from incisions but bladder killing me! Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traci J. 207 Posted January 1, 2013 Might have a urinary tract infection if you had a catheter...go see your regular MD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vidalia 122 Posted January 1, 2013 My bladder was the worst part of my hospital stay. I thought I was going to have to get a catheter because I could not empty it and it was full and very painful. I would try and try and nothing would come out. Finally, and thank God, I was able to empty it by STANDING UP over the toilet and gently pressing on my bladder area. I know it sounds weird but I was so relieved that I found a way to empty it. I had to do that for a few days after I got home too. They say your bladder goes to sleep during surgery but mine must have been in a coma. It gets better though. I was completely back to normal in a few weeks.
