I had my surgery on 7/15 weighed at 278 before my surgery. My surgery went well but then my heart rate was extremely fast and my bp was high. I had to the take an emergency cat scan to determine if I had a leakage. Thank god my results was negative because I was nervous. My pain is OK the only thing I'm having trouble with is gas pain and loose stool. Has anyone experience this before? My bp is still high but I'm managing that with my meds. I got weighed and I gained 4 pounds yesterday but I lost a pound as of today 7/17. Hopefully I can go home today and take care of myself. Im nervous but anxious of getting better and starting my life over.

Do not worry about the weight. When I came home from the hospital I weighed and I had gained 10 pounds. It is from the fluid they give you while in the hospital. Yes I did have loose stool also. Just keep a watch on that so you do not get dehydrated. You will be fine hang in there. Best of luck to you.

You may gain from the anaesthetic. No worries about that. Just walk a lot to get rid of the gas and sip sip sip!
