@lorijbq Hi Lori, I really do understand what you mean when you say that this site is a God-send. I felt the same way after my first post over 5 years ago. I'm not sure that I've read about anyone having bladder issues after colon surgery.
Connect does have a discussion group on Bladder/Kidney issues. You might try to post about this problem on that discussion group. Perhaps you will find someone who has had a similar problem. Here is the link to those discussions, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/kidney-conditions/
If you are comfortable sharing more, could you describe what type of bladder issues you are having? Is it incontinence, frequency, burning, or pain when you urinate?

Hi I did some research over the weekend and they say bladder issues are more common than we know after colon surgery. About 2 weeks after surgery, I felt like I was getting a UTI.... frequency, fullness, some burning at end of urinating in the morning.. just an on off uncomfortable feeling. I plan on talking to surgeon about it. My other unusual symptom is constant feeling of pressure in my rectum. It’s uncomfortable! Will I ever get my body back???? Stinks😢
