2 weeks out and it's all good!

Hi guys, I had surgery a couple of weeks ago and the oddest thing happened. I went in the day of surgery at 273 lbs. and the day they released me (3 days later) from the hospital I was 299.7!!! I did not realize you could retain so much water..I went back to see my surgeon and he thought I may have a blood clot in my left leg, so I was admitted to Mt. Carmel ER. After many tests, they found nothing and said I just have retained an unusual amount of water. Since leaving the ER I have lost all the water weight and another 12 lbs too = 38.7 lbs in the last week and a half.!! I am now at 261 lbs and on my way to losing...I just wanted to thank everybody here for their support and throw a special shout out to Jaimee Spangler for being there pre-op too! Thanks, Lisa

Lisa, That is somthing else. I have read many profiles none having that problem. I bet that devestated you. I am so glad you lost all the fluid and you are losing weight. Take Care Barb

Hi Sweetie! So glad things are going well for you. I am here if you need me !!!! Keep taking it one day at a time. You'll be on "real foods" before you know it. I am so glad you made it through without any major problems. Tha****er can be frustrating when it decided to hang around in your body like that. Thank goodness you didn't have a clot! I hope to see you at support group when you're feeling up to it. Take care, Jaimee
