I see a lot of posters talk abou****er weight gain from the IV fluids/surgery. I know it's jus****er weight and comes back off pretty fast. But was just wondering if everyone has gone home weighing more than when they went in to the hospital for the surgery?

I was up about five lbs after RNY. Yesterday I just had my gallbladder removed and was home the same day and was up four lbs. So yes it happens but comes off pretty fast, don't worry. Good luck with your surgery! 

I assumed I would have gained water weight. I did not. I weighed before I left the house to go to hosp and weighed the exact same when I got home 3 days later. I think it is normal to though. I just got lucky.

Yes I gained 8 pounds and was very puffy.  It was gone within a week and then some.

I gained 15 pounds.

It's pretty much impossible NOT to come home heavier than you went in.

They pump you full of water so you will weigh more after the surgery.  A gallon of water weighs seven pounds.  I was up 19 pounds after surgery and it was gone in a few days.  You just pee it out.

What she said. I am not sure how much I gained. But after surgery (and all the peeing) I lost 2 lbs a day for the first week.

I assure you, all of that l COULD NOT HAVE BEEN fat.

I figured you would, and I know it's jus****er weight. but was just wondering if everyone did

I figure we would just wondered if everyone has done this.
