i had gastric sleeve 10-4-17 yesterday. I was discharged today and gained 8 lbs! Is that normal?

I am also having what I decribe as waves in my abdomen that can be relieved by standing up. Is that normal?

Yes, they gave you fluids and filled you with gas. My doctor said wait a few weeks before you start weigh-in yourself.

I had my surgery 9-6-17 and i'm down 14lbs as of today. So don't worry about it right now.

Its the gas from the surgery its not your actual weight. Give yourself a week to stabilize and get the surgical gas out of your system. Walk every two hours to help eliminate it. At least this is the directive from Kaiser where I was sleeved. Just keep sticking to the program you'll be just fine and will be blown away at your new numbers in just a few weeks.

The weight gain is from IV fluids they gave you in the hospital. It'll go down over the first week or two.

The "waves" are stomach spasms. Very common.
