Hi all, I'm getting worried. I had my sleeve gastrectomy on the 19th May, and I have just gained 2 pounds. I understand that due to surgery there is swelling, with the gas and IV drips, but I haven't managed to have a bowel movement and I am wondering if something may be wrong. I would appreciate some help from those who have had similar.
If this is normal, how long is the average before you start to lose weight? I am drinking plenty of liquids without any problem and strictly following the liquid diet given by the hospital.
