Weight Gain Right After Surgery



Recommended Posts

Just was wondering if others have a weight gain right after surgery. I know that it must be Water weight but I gained 7 pounds!

How quickly did you lose it?

thanks for your response

Yes, I weighed 218 on surgery day and it took 5 days for me to get back to that after surgery. I didn't do anything but walk, drink and wait! You just had surgery, so give it time!

I gained. Six pounds when I weighed after surgery in Mexico. I lost ten pounds about four days after being home. Lots of Water weight and flying didn't help. No worries it will soon be gone:)

I gained about 17 lbs after surgery from all the IV Fluid over 5 days (yes, i had a couple issues). I was pretty surprised when i weighed myself on day of discharge, but then again it was really great to be going home. It took about 2 weeks to lose it all.

      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.
