Sounds normal: While it's an unclear cause and effect issue, it doesn't sound dangerous at all. Also doesn't point towards any specific complication. No need to call the surgeon in this one, particularly if there's no pain, fevers, or problems related to urination other than timing. Hope this helps!

Not normal: Frequent urination after bowel movements a month after banding is not normal. About 5% of patients may develop temporary urinary retention, meaning the bladder doesn't completely empty. Perhaps your symptoms are related to this. You should speak with the specialist and see a Urologist if this persists. You can also ask for a second opinion consultation with a Urologist on Health Tap.
