Retaining water after surgery

It is very common to retain fluids after surgery and gaining weight as well as looking bloated. As you become more active your body will eliminate most of the extra fluid you retain during surgery.

Water retention after surgery

Yes, it is normal to retain water as a consequence of both swelling and the medications used in anesthesia. You should begin to diurese within 72 hours. Swelling reaches its peak 48-72 hours postop so don't be surprised if you feel more bloated tomorrow than today.
