If you look in the blue bar at the top and click in the magnifying glass, you can search for related posts. You will be very reassured by the number of people asking about this! Try searching on weight gain post-op, no loss in first week, why am I not losing post-op? etc.. You are very much not alone!

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

Hi kblsnanny I just had surgery July 10 and when I came home I was up 9 pounds from what I am told it is from the fluid from the iv's in the hospital. Give it a week or two and things should change I hope this helps!

They pumped you full of fluid IV's in the hospital. That's where the extra weight came from. You should shed it in a couple of days, then the fun begins.

They pump you up with so much additional fluid in the hospital that it can take days before you drop that and start seeing a loss. You may also want to check out the VSG board and look for this topic. It's been posted often.
