Asked By:Petgriff in Calabasas, CA

I have followed the instructions of my doctor with the compression binder and MINIMAL activity. I have restricted my calorie intake to 500 calories, yet I have gained ten pounds from the day AFTER my surgery. Why is this happening? I lost 60 pounds way before surgery. I can't gain back any of it! I'm a little panicked!
