Peeing
Hi all,
No one has talked about peeing using the neo bladder so here goes.
Sometimes I can pee 16 + oz in less than a min. Other times it like 5 mins or more.
Has anyone figured out why?Bill

I’m aiming for getting up every four hours max(oh the luxury!) Last night I managed two and a half hours – progress but still a way to go. I believe I’ll get there sooner rather than later, as all the signs are indicating to it. But I’ve read somewhere that over stretching the young neo too soon can have a floppy effect on it which will influence peeing…

cool. sounds like you are on a good track there and thanks for the info. I think the “lazy kegals” club is quite a big one. me and Zach and you have so far owned up to not doing as many as we should. but if you’ve reached a good place it’s just one more hassle to rid yourself of. i was at my hospital last week and the registrar i spoke with was very keen on me getting back on them to improve my nighttime. I get up every four hours at the moment which is ok. I always have a small degree of leakage. I reckon if got up more frequently then the leakage would be better but Id be so tired.

Tim,
Thanks for the reply. I did a lot of kegels for the first few weeks, then when things started to improve i became a little lazy. I must start doing more… Regarding the night; as long as I keep the liquids to a minimum and set my alarm for every two hours I’m dry. I’m still getting used to the waking routine though, looks like it’ll take a while too. My doc says it could take up to six months or more before I’ll be voiding every for hours max. Looking forward to getting some deep sleep.

lol. im just trying to ask about other people’s nighttime dryness as Im still chasing the dream. i know you have shares in the noipp and Im pretty tempted. but i want to give it one more year as I feel im soo close. so im interested in others experience. im like you and a bit lazy about the kegals but im not sure i can afford to be…

I used to , and occasionally do get a dull ache in my lower back which I also had checked out. nothing showed up and it was explained as possible refulx up into the kidneys when the bladder is a bit full. what’s your regimen re kegels and drinking at night etc. you sound like you’re doing pretty well for 2 months in!regs

Hi,
I’ve had a neo since August ’07 and it’s working very well for me. I’m 100% dry during the day and 98% during the night. Peeing was never an issue, but if I hold for more than 1 to 2 hours – I feel a sudden, strong and sharp pain in my left side. This I explained to my doctor who then sent me for an ultrasound which reaveled nothing out of the ordinary. I wonder does anyone have this issue and will it fade away?

I think there’s quite a lot of stuff about peeing if you have a look around. maybe not something this specific. I think becuase the neo is a rough “W” shape the urine can get stranded in pockets. Wriggling around can suddenly release more. Eating makes quite a lot of difference to urine production as liquids can get caught up in the digestion process and be delayed coming out. any other takers?
all the best
