Hello,
I’ve been diagnosed with gastroparesis four years ago, and even though it took some time and several surgeries including the placement of GI pacemaker, I’m now able to eat at least somewhat regular, but of course, smaller meals. But the problem I’m experiencing now, according to my current GI doctor, is something he can’t do much about and he referred me to the urologist. I feel that’s not going to help much, because the issue I’m experiencing is almost complete loss of bladder sensations, as in I can’t feel if my bladder is full or not. I can urinate, but the problem is getting pretty serious because the only clues I now have to see if I need to go to the bathroom are basically the hours passed since the last time I went. GI doc didn’t think it was neurological, but I don’t know what else could be the cause.

Hello, Guest! I agree with your GI doctor that you need to see a urologist. There are medications that can help with the situation about your losing sensation of your bladder. It would be a good idea to set an alarm on your cell phone to tell you that you should go to the bathroom and try to empty your bladder. That way you are avoiding problems with incontinence. The procedure of the GI pacemaker may have something to do with the loss of feeling possibly. I hope the urologist can help you with your problem.
Has anyone else had this problem and was you able to resolve it in some way?
