I came home one day after surgery. Got directly on the scale and I was exactly 12 pounds heavier than on the day of surgery. I wish my doctor had warned me about that possibility. I was shocked and confused. I soon realized from reading the forums that it most likely was iv fluids. It took me 5 days to get back to weight on surgery date. When I went for my 10 day post op visit I had lost a grand total of 4 pounds. BTW my surgeon had me on four ounces of clear fluids per hour!! Because I was now unable to tolerate any thing with artificial sweeteners I was only drinking Water and chicken broth. Four whole pounds on 30 calories a day! Speedy recovery to you.

Hmmm ... today was Day Four (post-op), and this a.m. I was down 1.5 pounds below what I weighed the day before surgery.

Now I wish I'd weighed when I got home.

Disclaimer: Actually, I didn't weigh when I got home because I figured I'd freak out.

      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.
