Dont worry! It'll go away, they filled you with air and you had a ton of fluid put in through your IV. It happened to me too. Its all good :)

Sweetie, I was NINETEEN pounds up at my first post-op appointment! At my 1 month appointment, I had dropped 32 off of that.

Relax, walk and fart... you're on your way!

Glad to hear you are home and doing well. The weight is just from all the IV fluids you had in the hospital. It will be gone soon. Can't wait to watch you melt away!!

Hey Juliana---
This too shall pass--the gas and the extra 15#s. The extra weight is from all the IV fluid they pump into you.

Be sure to walk and sip, walk and sip and sip and sip...

it'll go away - promise and a whole lot more with it!! Hang in there and avoid the mechanical monster (aka the scale)

You take care of healing and everything else will happen!

Normal. Relax, breathe, heal and stay away from the scale for a while. And trust us IT WILL GO DOWN!!!!
