What Causes Dark Urine?
I have a very dark (almost dark chocolate) urinary discharge when I have to pee. I had a gastric sleeve operation 4 months ago. I have lost about 55 pounds since the operation. I just noticed it yesterday, and it seems to continue. Is this a serious situation? I will call my Dr. on Monday. Is this something that needs immediate attention? Thanks for your thoughts.
