i had by pass 6 days ago ,still have swelling and pain on left wound site and weigh more than I did pre op help!!

You should call your surgeon's office about the swelling and pain in your incision. They'll tell you to come in (or go to urgent care) if it sounds serious.

A lot of people gain weight in the hospital. It's just because they pump you full of IV fluids. Don't worry; it will come off quickly.

thanks sue and well done on your fantastic weight loss,very inspiring

I weighed 10 lbs more when I got home from the hospital 2 days after surgery! But by 1 week post-op, I had lost that plus another 8 lbs! Be sure to drink your fluids and it will come off, I promise.

I echo Sue about the pain - call your surgeon.

Thanks Crick

i went back to the doctor to day

i actually have a haemotoma / infection at the wound site ant they started me on antibiotics

i am still the same weight tho , doctor says not to worry about it but it is a bit disheartning

am drinking 2 litres of water a day and a good protein intake

calorie intake is about 600 daily so cannot understand how im staying the same weight

it is now 8 days since my surgery

Things can only get better????

will keep you posted appreciate the feedback

well done on your brilliant weight loss

it gives me hope
