Am 3 days out and I still struggle to barely pee drops. My stomach is swollen. Any suggestions about how to get this to pass?

I had this same problem. It lasted about 4 days after my surgery. It came back slowly. Don't fret....my entire surgical team said it was typical and normal.

I would ask my surgeon about it, I take it you are female? I couldn't go much the next day and they found my prostate had swollen, they didn't want my kidneys to back up so I had the pleasure of getting a catheter. But they did say they want to see that there is Water in and Water out before I left the hospital. So maybe put in a call? You don't need kidney stones or bladder infections while you're trying to heal.

You're three days out and this will likely balance itself. I will share though that I simply do not urinate as much as I used to before surgery (3+ months out). I do get my liquids in, but I can go a full day at work without using the ladies room. I chalk it up to an interesting side effect I have. I don't see much on it so I don't know if it's common.

I don't pee as much anymore either, but I chalk that up to my blood sugar going from out of control to normal.

I'm not having that problem, I've been back and forth from the bathroom since the surgery, my surgery was on Wednesday! Are you walking?? I've been doing a lot of walking and sipping. Try moving, if not everything will be fine, I'm sure.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have stared walking more and getting better output. Hopefully that will help get rid of the gas too.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
