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 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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
