Hello everyone - I was just sleeved on 12/27 so I'm only two days out, but I'm still up 6 lbs from my surgery date weight. I know it's from all the fluids and gas they pump you with in the hospital but I thought I would have dropped those excess pounds by now? How long does it normally take?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure mine was gone within a week.

About a week for me too. I was up 13 lbs. when I came home the day after surgery. Sheesh! But now, 7 months out, I have lost about 80 lbs!

My surgery was Dec 14th and it took about 5 days for the "extra" water and gas weight to be gone for me.. I could tell a difference in my belly every day. Everyday it seems to go down a little. It's gets better

I was sleeved Dec. 5 it took about 1 1/2 weeks for me. It just dropped all of a sudden.

i was sleeved on 12/19, and gained about 6.5 lbs according to my scale the day I came home from the hospital (3 days post-op).. a couple of days after that, it dropped like a rock! I am now down 16 lbs since the surgery!

I am away from home for a few days, so it will keep me off the scale, and then I have my 2 week follow up on 1/6.

Good luck, and it will come off pretty quickly!

I was sleeved 12-19-11. I came home 12-21-11 and found out I gained 10 lbs (331 lbs). It finally came off 12-25-11. I did not know about the weight gain. I felt cheated. But today 12-29-11 I weigh 214. I feel better.

Thanks everyone - I guess I'm not going to worry about it too much since it will surely drop off soon (I hope?!)
