Yes! It happened to me and it was awful. No one warned me that this could be a complication and the nurses at the hospital did not make sure I could go pee before discharging me. No one even mentioned to me that this could be a potential side effect or that it might happen. I had several nurses since then tell me they could not believe the hospital discharged me without making sure I was all right to go on my own. I had a cyst removed via laparoscopy and this happened to me later that night, less than 12 hours after the surgery. You can read about my whole surgery experience (not the urine retention part - it's a little embarrassing ;) here: http://www.lifelovebeauty.com/life/health/117-what-to-expect-after-laparoscopy-and-cyst-removal.html
