I would call your dr first thing in the morning to be safe.

I had the same problem only I was a week post-op. I ended up having a severe kidney infection from dehydration. But like someone else said I would call my doctor first thing in the morning or go to the emergency room.

About 3 weeks out, in two of my pees (not sure how to say it) I had clotted blood. It looked like little red strings in my yellow urine. The first was the morning before work, the second was a few hours later when I went to LabCorp to get a urinalysis done.

The first thing i did was call my surgeons office to get the script for the urinalysis. I had the results shared with my urologist. I had a appointment 2 weeks later with my urologist, but he had me go in for a CAT scan (with and without contrast). The CAT scan showed no kidney stones (which can cause blood, and is common after a high Protein low fluids diet), and no other issues.

At my urologists office he preformed a cystoscopy (a scope is pushed into your pee hole all the way to your bladder, where they push fluids in and inspect the passageway and the bladder). He found nothing with my bladder but noted 2 slight urethral strictures (narrowing of the passageway). After, your bladder will be full, so taking advantage of this, he had me do a flow test (you pee into a toilet looking device that measures your urine stream), which was within normal range, indicating no obstructions.

I was given a clean bill of health. The important thing is visible blood in urine or stool must be checked out by medical professionals.

Good advice here from everyone. Go to the doctor or ER today! Don't wait, please. You can actually have a UTI with little or no pain and with blood in the urine. Has happened to me on a few different occasions.

Also, it can be difficult to get enough Water in those beginning weeks after surgery. Like many others, I got dehydrated, but didn't really realize it until I went to the ER for the blood in urine. Once there, stayed all day and they fixed me up on several IV bags of Fluid.

If you have a UTI, it's an easy fix with a week or more of antibiotics, just amp up that water to help avoid future troubles.

I hope you get better soon. :)

      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?
