Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hi everyone, My name is Holly & I am a newbie to the graduate board. I have waited and waited to finally post (RNY 11-1-02) and it couldn't have come at a better time! I could use some advice. I was wondering if anyone has experienced bladder problems as a result of surgery? Not just our normal bladder infections from not enough water but maybe a dropped bladder from carrying the weight. I have been in pretty severe pain for at least a week and have seen my PCP twice. She tested me twice for UTI (negative) & has now referred me to a urologist. She thinks maybe my bladder has dropped or moved as a result of the weight loss (-150 lbs). I thought this sounded unusual but my symptoms are A CONSTANT NEED to go to the bathroom, spasms & lower abdominal soreness. The only relief I get is from a HOT bath. She has also given me some anti-spasm meds that seem to help a little but doesn't make the urgency to go, go away. It is very annoying because I feel like I have to go to the bathroom so bad it hurts only to go a little when I do. I do not have burning when I urinate only a severe need to go. I do have some pressure and pain that is very uncomfortable. Just wondering if anyone out there has heard of this or experienced anything like this as a result of surgery. Thanks for your help!
