Reply to "urinating after takedown"

I had my j-pouch surgery in 2000 and just discovered during a recent physical that I am retaining over 1,000 ccs in my bladder. I had no idea that I was so unable to empty and since my surgery was 16 years ago its not a new problem but my bladder has stretched out over time and I'm trying to get it back down before if fails completely.  I just had a minor reduction of my prostate to try and increase flow and self-catheterise but am curious if anyone else has experienced this problem?  I've read of nerve damage resulting from the take down but nothing that would have taken this long to present. I haven't found any literature out there that pegs to this long-term condition. Any advice? Anyone? Bueller?
