In the last year, that I have gained fifty pounds, I have to urinate very frequently.

So much so that I get up two to three times a night to use the bathroom. As soon as I get to work I'm urinating every hour and a half. And no, I don't drink a lot of liquids. From visiting this website for the past year I see people talk about stress incontinence. I went to the uroligist and he sent me to do a few different test and everything was normal. I asked if he thinks it could be weight related, and he said he didn't think so. I was trying to see if he would give me a diagnosis that it was related to the weight so that I can give the paperwork to my PCP so that she can write a medical necessity letter for me ( I have no comorbidities and my PCP doesn't want to write the letter even though she has for other people who do have comorbidities). Anyway, I want to know if anybody thinks that it IS probably related to the weight and I should find another opinion because I have the begining of stress incontinence. The uroligist sent me medication to slow down the urinating frequency. My BMI is 47. Please help! I want to haver this surgery!
