Gained weigh during surgery

[TammyDTM 391]

I was sleeved on Feb 25. Went in weighing 282 and left 299! A whopping 17 lbs of Fluid pumped into me for 2 days! I was told "the doctor must of thought I needed it." Okay, well whatever. I am now down to 276. I am glad to be losing weight. I am following orders and I will continue to be motivated and inspired.

You receive a lot of fluids in the hospital. That was the weight you gained. Perfectly normal.

I went in at 212 for surgery on 1/21 and weighed in when I got home the next day on 1/22 (around 2pm) at 225. I was shocked, but judging by the ridiculous amount of bathroom trips I was making and what I could remember of the nurses constantly changing out my IV bags, I knew I'd been pumped with a TON of Fluid.

It took me about four days to get it all out of my system and then the weight was pouring off a pound a day. It's PERFECTLY normal. Don't freak out.

Yes. I am 4 days post op and 10 pounds heavier than surgery day. I hope this is temporary, and the weight gain goes away quickly.
