Bladder Question from Doc?



Recommended Posts

Since my surgery in December, I've noticed the nurse asks the normal questions "When was your last BM" "How have you felt" "any changes"...however the one question that I've been curious as to why they as is "are you have any issues peeing".. umm...? I'm confused.

Have any of you had this question from your clinic? And if so, have you inquired as to why they ask that?

I do notice I pee a tiny amount and more frequently..nothing else out of the ordinary..So why the question...

That makes sense. I just wonder why they didn't ask that when I had the band. To me, I was more prone to dehydration with the band due to constant vomitting.

But yeah...That is very true!! :)

Yep... standard. Also frequency (every couple hours). And clarity (should be clear or nearly clear).

How do u get past the feeling of having to pee all the time?

I had surgery I 7/17 and it just started today. The feeling like I'm pregnant and the kid sits on the bladder. I know I'm not pregnant cause I had a hysterectomy in 99'. Is anyone else having this issue??? Please help !!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
