I was a bit floored when I got home from the hospital to see that I had actually gain 15.5 pounds (went from 210 to 225.5) while in the hospital. I had 3 IV infiltrate and had IV's the whole time I was in there but come one 15.5 pounds??
Mind you since I have been home I have dropped down to 219. I still look like the Michelin Man!!!
Please tell me this is a normal thing?

Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
Fluids, bloating, still weak BM, you've gone the gamut, looks like.
You'll be fine in a week or two, don't worry, it' just all water and it's temporary.
Lots of people gain while in the hospital from fluids, no, you're not the only one.

Valerie, I gained too. Doc is right. Just hang on and your body will catch up to what has been done. I know gaining at this stage is a real head trip though. The scale will be moving backwards soon!
