frequent urination

[Boujee_Susie 34]

I will be 2 months post op next week and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing frequent urination? It like anything I drink goes right through me...I still haven’t had any complications but this is actually annoying even at night I get up to pee i can’t even hold it if I wanted to..if I have to go I have to go lol

Oh yeah. I'm 2 months out myself and all the Water I drink means I stay in the bathroom. I also get up several times at night.

I wonder why that happens? I’m glad I work from home because i have to go 15 or 20 minutes after I drink anything

Same here! I've always been this way though. Whenever I travel I need to know where all the bathrooms are immediately!

I actually discussed this with my PCP today. She said it could be one of three things, though only two of them were likely in my case. Either a bladder infection or something she explained happens when a person loses a significant amount of weight. Basically, you have a lot of tissue in that area due to the excess weight, but when you start dropping the pounds, you lose the padding, so to speak, that allows you to hold your urine the way you normally would. Of course, she was more eloquent when explaining it to me, but I can’t remember her exact wording or terminology. If my urinalysis comes back normal, she suggested I try Kegel exercises to see if it helps.

I developed this problem only after surgery. My PCP sent me to a uro for a workup who diagnosed me with a overactive bladder - but had no guesses how I developed that. I’m taking some medication that helps a bit but it’s still really really annoying. If I drink anywhere near my Water goal for the day, I’m peeing every 30 minutes and sometimes rushing to get to the toilet before leaking.
Oh, and I have male anatomy.

Ive had this issue since I was in my 20s ( nothing to do with surgery). Its annoying because its really hard to get a good nights sleep. Have given up on trying to find the cause and solution as so far no Dr has come up with one
