had DS Wednesday 5 days later im 30 pounds, heavier. lol

Lol but serious.  Thank goodness I had read about that pre op so im not too alarmed. 

Yeah, try to stay off the scale for a while!! :)

Considering all the fluids and stuff they have pumped into your body, that's no surprise.  I was 18 lbs heavier when I went home, but did stay off the scale until I went to my 2 week post-op appointment and lost that, plus some more.   Not to worry - glad you already knew it could happen!

HI Nancy.. I just sent you an email as I see you had your DS with Dr. Sudan in July...i am wanting more info on Dr. Sudan and DS .. 

Ok I am glad I read this and know if I have the DS that I could out heavier then coming into the hosptial.  How are you doing now?

LOL. I wished they had explained that little gotcha before hand. I was pretty shocked that first day. 

Meeee too!  They removed parts, how can I weigh MORE??  

I am glad you are in good spirits!

Swelling from the surgery and IV fluids can do that.  Give it time, and make sure you take your vitamins, minerals and protein.  It's not an instant fix for obesity, but it's the best one we've got...IF you make sure you attend to your nutrition!

I know that feeling but I was prepared for it after having the lap-band first. I started at 298 when I left the hospital I was 323. My 2 week post apt I was down to 188 so don't worry it's gets going the right way quickly.

I ment 288 lol, if only it worked that fast!
