Is it normal to gain weight from getting many IV's after surgery?!


Question: Is it normal to gain weight from getting many IV's after surgery!?
I was in the hospital 5 days and between the antibiotics, vitamins & minerals and glucose, I came home 22 lbs heavier than when I went in!. I freaked when I stepped on the scale at home, I barely ate anything while I was in the hospital!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Even though you received a lot of IV fluids that still is a lot of weight to gain!. I would have thought he would have put you on a diuretic unless he was purposely hoping for you that you would keep some of the extra fluids on you because they did contain antibiotics and vitamins and minerals and glucose!. However, if you do not start dropping at least a few pounds this week then you do need to call your Dr by the end of the week!. Remember, you have to be pro-active with you Dr!.
Good luck!! You are always in my thoughts and prayers!.

I think it sounds impossible to put that much weight on!. Are you sure you mean 22!?!? Or 2!.2!. That would be more fesible!.

Any possibility your scales aren't working properly!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

YES it is possible!. I am surprised your MD did not prescribe a diureretic!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
