I am 3.5 years out and am somewhat struggling with incontinenace issues. It only effects when when I am doing any sort of physical activity... the more intense the activity, the more that comes out. I am wondering if my excess stomach skin/flub is putting pressure and causing the urine to come out... the more its flopping around the more it is pushing... or if its something internal. I am going to address with my PCP at my physical but wanted to see others experiences/thoughts prior to going. I have had the issue for a while but recently got back into the gym and started to work on my running and its gotten to the point of embarassment. I didnt mind a little here and there, but to feel like I peed my pants is different!
Thanks for the help!!

Hi Jenn,

It's good to see you again, but I'm sorry to hear that you are having a problem with this. It's not a problem I'm experiencing, but I must be honest and say that I don't exercise as vigorously as you do either. I hope you'll come back and let us know what you find out from your Dr.

I was also wondering if it might be worth cross posting this to the diet and exercise forum?

I may have to, havent had too much luck with responses. Most people are posting that thier WLS helped their incontienence... I never had the issue pre-op.
