health problems after RNY

 For the last two days my ankles have been swollen.. dunno what's going on.. Then I step on the scale to see I've put on 10 lbs in a week. For some reason I am retaining water.. I'm worried I am going to gain back old health problems... Has anyone else done this after RNY? Everyone of my co-morbs were taken care of... but I've had a substantial gain and that may have triggered these new issues.. Don't worry if it doesn't subside by Monday I'll go to my family doc!
Just wanted to see if anyone else has gone through this before.

Thanks!

What's the weather been like there?  I still have problems with my feet swelling when the temp increases.  It was terrible when I moved to AZ the beginning of July.  They've finally gotten back to normal.

I hope that's all it is, but you'd best check with your Doc.

Talk to me about protein. How much in supps? When were your last labs?

Tell me about your vites regimen.

Your family doc may not recognize protein malnutrition so tell him to look for that

P.S.  My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.

I agree with Michele, I have the same problem.  I heat has been the worst here and I am up in LB's and know it the weather.  See if when the humidity goes down if that it.  I am much better today.

Let us know what you found out.
