    I gained 9 pounds post-op with my first lapband. It was all Fluid that my body held onto for about 9 days. Then I lost 5 pounds overnight and then the fluid left my body. Good luck! Sue

I didn't experience this myself but was prepared for it since my surgeon told me it was common. The first 6 weeks are for healing. Your body has just gone through major surgery so your focus should be on taking care of yourself, following the instructions the Dr. gave you to the T and not worrying about the weight. It will come right off once things are back up and running normally. Your body is holding on to alot of fluids duing this time and is trying to adjust to what it has just been put through. Hang in there and you will see that this weight will come right off. Congrats on your surgery and new way of life!!

    Immediately after surgery I did weigh more but within 2 weeks I was down 12 lbs from my pre-op weight.
