Leg and foot swelling?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else had an issue with your legs and feet swelling after surgery? I was just sleeved on 9/23/13, and got home yesterday. I don't think they were swollen in the hospital.

Hmmmm,

Pay attention. If your legs get hot, if you run a fever, if the pain gets worse, or if you are concerned after 3 or 4 days (even without the above), call your surgeon. In the worst case scenerio I worry about a clot...

My hand, legs and feet were swollen, I came home with about 15 pounds Water retention. I was sleeve 9/16, today I finally hit a pound under my surgery weight. I found the more liquids I can get drink, the faster the water retention started coming off.

I did not...have you called your surgeons office to get their input? I would start there.

No pain, just numbness. I think it's Water retention too. They gave me like 12 bags of Fluid at least during my stay. Once the IV came out of the vein and the fluid was pumping under my skin on my arm. Made my whole arm swell.
