Anyone Gain Weight?



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out and in the first 10 days I lost 13 pounds now over the past 3 days I have gained 2.5 pounds back.....I have not changed what I am doing or eaten more, still on blended foods. Why would I gain weight eating so very little (less than 1000 calories per day) Maybe someone else went thru this...

Help!

It is very common. I lost 13 lb post op in the first 2 weeks, then didn't lose anything (actually gained) over the next 2 weeks until my first fill.

I had my first fill last Friday, and I've already began losing again.

Do don't let it get you down.

Hi

This did happen to me too. I lost like 20lbs in the first 2 weeks and ended up at the end of 5 weeks losing a total of about 14 lbs. But the Dr said that is normal. He said in the first 4 weeks patients lose about 12-14 lbs. I am at 8 weeks today and have lost 20 lbs.

Hope this helps...

From what I have read this is EXTREMELY common! I don't know why it happens but I can't even begin to count the people on this list that have posted about it. Don't worry, it will start to come off after you start getting fills.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
