Feet and legs starting to swell

I am 3 days post op and noticing my feet and legs starting to swell. Anything I can do? Is this a bad sign?

Thanks so much!

Call the doc, it could be a multitude of things, some are bad.

Call your doctor last thing you need is a clot!! Please keep us posted, haven’t really had any problems since my sleeve on Monday, but did have to call my doctor and I guess I was confused. Thought I only needed to take the Omeprazole (prysolec) if I was having problems. Have to take it everyday to keep the gastric fluid down in my sleeve so it will heal. Couldn’t figure out why I had the burning pain. Glad I called!

Call your doctor right away and keep walking every hour you're awake. Also, cut back on salt. Cut out broth and salty drinks. If your house is very hot, move to air conditioning until you get it figured out. Drink lots of water.
