I have a few questions. I was an original sleeve patient in November of 2011. I had a severe stricture that was finally corrected with a bypass in August of 2012. I had lost 110 pounds. scale finally kinda quit moving but ok with that I guess. I was at an ideal weight and had lost all "my girls"! LOL. My sweet husband agreed and paid for me to have a breast augumentation Thursday of last week. The scale gained almost 10 pounds. I know those silicone implants did not weigh 10 pounds. Help! What happened? I haven't felt real well or ate a whole lot since that surgery Thursday. Any idea where that weight came from ? How to get rid of it? I can't exercise for a week or so. Anyone else experienced this ? Help I'm struggling.

I'm sure you were on IV fluids at hospital plus swelling plus bandages and possibly drains. Just wait and don't stress. :)

I agree that's probably what it is they pump you full of fluids anytime you have surgery

I myself had a breast reduction a couple of years ago and found myself to be heavier afterwards,my doctor told me the swelling of scared tissue and Fluid was causing it and the heaviness of the anesthesia.give yourself about two weeks and the weight will move your body just has to heal and get use to the adjustment.try light walking nothing intense just to get you started,and congratulations on your Weightloss!!

When your on bed rest all the Fluid stay in your body. I'm sure you didn't gain 10 pounds. I love your expression 10 pound silicone lmbo

I'm getting my boob fix but with my own body skin & fat :) I want to be all natural but nada wrong with implants it's just me I'm weird sometimes.

So... Tell me what size did you get? Are they heavy? Do your hubby love them? Do you feel the touching licking feeling?

Sorry I want to be prepare for next year :) I heard you lose sensation so idk if its only implants or it apply to anything you do to your body

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
