Give yourself a chance. Most people don't weigh themselves the first week because of stuff like weigh gain while being in the hospital hooked up to an IV. I would just relax. Don't stress yourself out and wait another week or so before looking at the scale.< /p>

4 pounds in 6 days omg I would love to do that. Give it a chance and dont get discourged that is why we are all the way that we are because we would get discourged with ourselves and give up. Hang in there you will be just fine.

Valerie!!!!!!!! Do you have any idea how bloated surgery makes you??? The IV fluids alone are enough to put on 10lbs! CHILL OUT!!! Oh - and by the way.... about this time next week, I'll expect this same reply from you... Glad you are doing well!

I agree with everyone on here. DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF for at least a week.... was a huge rule from my doctor. I didn't listen and I was just where you are. Now, I weigh myself every week (thanks to my husband who hid the scale per my request) and I love seeing the numbers drop. Also, if it only goes down a pound or two, it's still lower and I'm happy!!!! Give yourself time. Good luck and congrats.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
