Post surgery journey

So it has now been 5 days since I have been banded and I actually feel like I have gained weight. I still have a lot of bloating and pain, I wonder if this is normal? I am going back to work on the 25th and I hope that I am feeling better by then.

yes ma'am it's normal it's the iv fluids and gas in your body, it's quite normal to gain up to 20lbs after surgery but usually you lose it all within the first week or so and continue to lose.
