Sometimes it takes the anesthesia a little longer to wear off sounds like your bladder hasn't gotten the memo. Run some Water and sit there you'll be able to go.

Yeah, the catheter can cause your urethra and bladder muscles to become lazy, so its pretty common. That's why they want it out of you as soon as possible.

You might also find when you go home that you have a weak pee stream for a few weeks. This is totally normal too and fairly common. Just wanted to let you know so you're not surprised by it. :)

I had the same problem. I never felt like I had to pee during my hospital stay.. I never really ever even thought about it, so I would have to make it a point to remember to go. When I did, it would take forever for anything to happen.. and then when it finally did, it was soo slow! Oh my god, it literally felt like it took forever.. I'd say at least 10 minutes. By day 2, it was a little better and then day 3 it was back to normal again.

Yes I had this. They had to give me catheter of some kind. Basically just released the urine. Next morning I was fine but hated that feeling. Not the catheter part but not being able to pee by yourself.

      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.
