Urinary Incontinence
or anything but did anyone have urinary incontinence before WLS and if so did it go away after losing the weight. just wanted to know.... 
I did not, but had 2 fellow support group peeps who did.
They both reported that it did go away after 50-ish pounds lost. I recall my surgeon discussing this in a pre-op meeting and it is common among obese patients.

Yup. One day I'm going to regret putting all my business out here like this, but I was bad. My sister and nieces and nephews always thought it was funny. They would hold me down and tickle me and don't let me start sneezing and can't stop. I hated it, but I'm good now.

I've been peeing myself for years so I've earned the right to LMAO at them tickling you.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Ewww. A nasty business I know all too well. Had it before surgery and will probably always have it. Mine si not obesity related.
I've heard that when you loose the right amount of weight for you, it does go away unless there is a cause other than obesity.
No more wee wee pads! Hooraaaayyy.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
For me it was the opposite. I don't know if the extra thigh fat helped me hold it or what the deal was, but it seemed that when the urge came, I could not clamp my legs together and walk fast to the restroom. I would try to do that and start trickling before i could get there.
I go to work before 7am so usually by the time i got there I would have to go. I normally could park, gather up all my stuff, stroll into the building, walk across the atrium to the office, put down all my stuff, put my lunch in the refrigerator, then leisurely walk back acoss the building to the restroom. Man, after I lost that first 100, ( about 5 months out) I'd get to work, park the car, sprint across the lot with nothing in my hands but my keys, then Groucho walk to the nearest bathroom right by the entrance door, and sure enough, the trickles had started!
Now, I have grown more accustomed to having less, so no longer a problem, but for the first few months, I had to carry around a change of undies for real!
