I was sleeved 10/23, home from the hospital tonight. I weigh 22 lbs more than I did the morning of surgery.

I know it's frustrating, but give it a few days. They pump you so full of fluids while you're in the hospital. I had a different surgery and gained 18 pounds from fluid, my ankles and fingers were huge. 2 days later it was gone. Try not to stress about it!

It happens. Fluid retention. You'll lose it soon.

Thank you for your responses !

BACK AWAAAAYYYY FROM THE SCALE!! Nothing to see here, move along. Don't even THINK about weighing your self this week!!!

Or next week for that matter!

I also gained weight during surgery, but remember you have an iv filling you up plus all the gas they put in during surgery. Try not to obsess over the scale right now...yeah its hard I know. I only weigh once a week then put my scale away. Hang in there it gets much better! Sleeved Aug 7 and down 66 lbs...next weigh in Monday morning.....

The clinic weighed me right before taking me back for surgery, then about 24 hours later. I'd gained 9 pounds in that time. But don't worry, it's all the fluids they pump into you to keep you hydrated and functional. 4 days later, i was down 2 pounds from my pre-op weight.

9 lbs isn't too much. I remember gaining 20 lb from 3 days of Iv. It was definitely a shocker when you went in to lose the weight, not gain it.

Scale is being put out of sight and out of mind. Thank you!

LOL I'll tell you what my favorite nurse during my hospital stay told me. Don't weigh yourself for *at least* two weeks. Your body is going what in theeeeee helllllll just happened and is going to do all sorts of strange things.

You will lose it fast

Wow you lost all you weight in a month?

2013 is my year....SD 11/19 Methodist Hosp in NY

I was sleeved on Monday... They told me when I left the hospital on Wed, do NOT weigh myself... All the fluids and water retention keep your weight up... I was on only ice chips for 3 days and the only weight loss I see (sadly) is on my breasts. I have post op on Tuesday... I am trying to not weigh until then.

I started out 279.9 walked out weighing 285, 7 days later I am at 267. It will leave!

Ahhh, 276! I wish i was at 267, lol.
