When I had my lap last year the one thing they emphasized when I was discharged
was to let them know if I couldn't pee. I was able to go before I left but it did
hurt quite a bit. When I went for my post op visit my gyn asked me if my bladder
was okay since the surgery ( I have bladder trouble so that could be why.)It
sounds like you might have a bladder infection so I would call your dr. asap. That
is very common after surgery and you don't want it to get out of control. Also
after my lap I felt pretty good for a day or two and then on the 3rd day I kind
of "crashed"! Don't wait for your post op appt. Call today! Let us know how it
goes. God bless.
