AngieK72 69 Posted May 18, 2017 Hey all. I am 9 days post op. At check in I weighed 246 pounds. 3rd day post op at home weighed 256. Totally freaked out. I have been busting my ass to get in all the liquid requirements from my surgeon. Peeing like crazy and figured I was mostly hydrated. I weighed myself yesterday and I was 243. Things are going in the right direction. Did anyone else experience this or am I an anomaly? Over all I am feeling good. When I am up to long my right side starts hurting. Not sure if it's gas or the two puncture sites. After I sit I am fine. So I get up and walk often...with pain. I figure it will go away. I will ask my surgeon at my follow up appt on the 23rdHope you are all well!! Angie 1 LittleSomethingNew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainyann 118 Posted May 18, 2017 Yes... I was almost 10 pounds heavier when I weighed myself after getting home from the hospital... It will come off as you see. It doesn't happen to everyone but it is not uncommon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travelergirl 142 Posted May 30, 2017 Phew. I am seeing the same thing. I'm showing a higher number on scale after surgery. I assumed it was the in fluids and some inflammation and bloating. I'm going to bathroom every couple of hours so I'm hoping to see the numbers keep coming down. Thank you for sharing because it is reassuring to know I'm not the only one Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
