<p><p>I got banded yesterday (9/26) and just got home from the hospital today. I am moving pretty slow and have pains that come and go. I assume that is the gas? So glad to find this site. It will be a great resource!</p></p>

Also - I stepped on the scale and gained 4 pounds while in the hospital!! I assume it is the result of the iv?? Did this happen to anybody else?

:clap2:I got banded 9/26 too!! I got to go home the same day though. The doc gave me pain pills so they've been helping with the incision pain. Good luck to you and me on our new weightloss adventures!:clap2:

Congratulations Lucylu and Wendy,

I'm hoping to be banded soon so will be interested to hear of your progress.

From what I understand the gas can cause pain and generally the port site has the most pain - probably because it has been attached to muscle.

I read on another thread here that someone gained 7lbs while in the hospital so you are not alone. But remember you have had major surgery and your body is recovering. In a few days you will probably start to lose all that weight and more - and then you will be on the downward slide to a healthy weight.

Thanks for the responses Wendy and Danna. Danna you are so right about the pain. Today the pain is definitely subsiding and I feel like I have more energy. I plan to take a nice long slow walk today. I know I shouldn't weigh myself every day but I can't help it. I have lost 2 pounds of the weight I gained. I know my weight gain couldn't have anything to do with the "food" I am drinking! So I will just keep a positive attitude.

Did your stomach growl like there is a wild animal inside of you?

Post-op weight gain is very common.

Congratulations on your surgery!:clap2:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
