Patsy Stewart Is this something where she has gradually been gaining weight after her surgery, or did it come on suddenly? Usually, right after surgery there will be a weight gain from the extra fluids that were pumped into your body. Over time, you will lose that fluid weight gain. After you go home, you need to monitor your weight daily. If it is a weight gain of 2-3 pounds in a day or 3-5 pounds in a week, she needs to call her cardiologist. Rose is correct. Sudden weight gain is a sign that you are retaining fluid.
Tracy Fallu I agree with both Rose & Patsy. Both offered great information.
