Just wondering if this is normal, which I am sure it is....but I have gained 6 lbs since my surgery...I can tell my stomach still has sooooo much gas in it so I am sure that is what it is! DId anyone else do this? Just wondering?

Me too! I was so pissed! LOL

It was gone within a couple of days. I was told it was Water retention from all the fluids that were pumped into me via IV.

Welcome home and grats on your band!

Congratulations on your band!

Hi,

I was banded on the 2-15-06 - also gained 4 lbs - but all came off & more about 5 days out.

Congrats on banding !!

Yep, 6 lbs gain the first day home here also. I couldnt come close to wearing my same denim capris that I wore to the hospital, I looked 6 months pregnant.

I didn't get weighed after surgery until my first office visit....I can understand being upset seeing that you gained. Glad I got to wait.

Congrats on the Band!

Didn't gain but my belly was huge like I was 9 months pregnant.

They pump you full of fluids ... don't worry... it's very temporary. I know I had a gain directly post-op as well... it'a a little hard to swallow seeing a gain but try and focus on healing ... the pre-fill stage is not necessarily a big weight-loss time. Welcome to Bandland!

Be happy it was only 6 pounds..I gained 15 from surgery..dont worry it will go away, it is from th IV's and the gas they pump you up with..you are normal..

Thanks guys you made me feel better!
