NEW MEMBER/BANDED 3/17/11/GAINED WEIGHT!!
wisdomseeker posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am a new member, obviously, and I was banded on 3/17/11. And I have GAINED 3lbs!!!! I spoke with my Doctor and he said not to worry that is probably Water weight and some swelling from surgery. My surgery was a little more involved since I also had a hiatal hernia repair which was not anticipated. My Doctor also told me that since my band has no saline I should not worry about a great weight loss and just focus on healing drinking water, maintaining a 1000-1200 calorie diet and EXERCISE!!!!! But, still, I worry, does this sound reasonable? Any advice, suggestions, ideas????? Thank you!! -
When will the weight come off?
