Peeing less after surgery

Anyone notice they have to pee less after surgery even though drinking more?

I held most of my weight in my belly so I think that was pressing down on my bladder which is why a quarter cup of liquids would send me running for the washroom within half an hour. Now that the fat is gone, I don't have to run that often. I assume that is what's going on with me.

Thanks that's what I was thinking!

I'm the same way....I hardly ever have to go and am not dehydrated. Funny, I was just wondering about this.

I read somewhere that being sleeved cures 64% of stress incontinence. For me that was a huge selling point. (Which is why that statistic stuck in my head)

I was probably going to the bathroom 30 times a day prior to surgery. Then I'd be up half the night going back and forth. It was so bad I actually wouldn't participate in activities unless there was immediate bathroom access.

The relief was almost immediate - I am heading to the bathroom much less frequently these days even though I am only 6 weeks out. And I only get up once during the night - huge improvement.

If I never lost a pound this alone would make the surgery worth it
