Was banded on Wednesday July, 11th and I have gained six pounds. I don't sew where anyone else gained weight. I am very swollen but not 6 pounds worth. Please let me know if this is normal.

I wouldnt worry you are still pumped up with gas & IV fluids just focus on healing right now I'm not weighing for at least two weeks post op(Dr will weigh me at my appt) to save myself unnecessary anguish

THAT IS NORMAL FROM FLUIDS AND SWELLING DONOT WATCH THE SCALE MY PA SAID FOR 6 WEEKS AFTER GOOD LUCK

completely normal.. i gained post op. and susan soul is right.. my pa told me that the first 6 weeks after surgery is dedicated to restoring the body and healing.. ur not looking for weight loss during those 6 weeks.. the journey is slow and steady with bumps along the way.. relax and enjoy the ride.. dont over think it.. ( like i did)

if u weight urself evry day u will loose ur m ind.. some days ur up some days ur down.. dont put urself thru that.

My surgery was on 7/9 and I gained 7 pounds of IV Fluid /gas. I am finally back down to pre surgery weight... but just barely.

Right now is the time to focus on healing. Don't stress about the scale.

I am so thankful I found this forum. I feel so much better knowing i can talk to others who have gone through the same things. I will stay off the scale for now.

Totally normal! Don't worry!

Yep totally normal...and just to warn you cuz I didn't know..when you star soft and normal foods you may gain as well...so don't be alarmed and freak out...my dietician had to talk me off the ledge and convince me this was normal...lol

It is crazy the effect surgeries have on our bodies. Sounds like fluid and gas. Keep calm and carry on - you've got this!!
