Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Hi everyone, I had surgery 14 days ago Hi Everyone I had my surgery 14 days ago and I have not seen any weight loss yet! On the day I had my surgery, my weight was 237...the day I was dismissed from the Hospital, my weight was 253...  from all the IV Fluids....I am glad that I had my R-N-Y LAP Gastric By Pass.... I just thought that the weight would drop off! I am taking my vitamins, calcium, drinking protein (isopure) and 2 per cent milk.

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.  |

| Super Moderator  | Congratulations on joining the Loser's Bench! Bloating immediately post op is quite common, and the weight loss doesn't start as soon as you wake up from the anesthesia. Your body is healing now, so it will try to retain everything until your system starts settling down. Just stick to your surgeon's instructions and get in the fluids and protein that you need to, you should start shedding your weight pretty soon, and the first thing to come off is the fluids that you retained immediately post op. Stay away from the scale, as it can disrupt your peace of mind, and don't worry about the weight until your next surgeon's follow up visit. (((((HUGS))))) May your journey go well.

Keep us posted on how you are doing, and Good Luck on your journey with your weightloss. It's am awesome adventure, and one that will have memories to last a lifetime. Wait til your first WOW moment. Those are the best. Hope to get to know you better through your posts. mike |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | HEY glad your postin ..... couldnt remember your id here so only been talkin with u thru myspace!!!! ANYWAY some people gain weight just after the surgery while in the hospitol due to all the IV fluids put into your body then. SO its very possible you went up and went down some of that. I have heard people arrive home 10 lbs higher then when they left for surgery. DONT worry relax your tool will work. YOUR body is adjusting to MAJOR MAJOR surgery and we all loose differently! IT WILL HAPPEN! hugs
