I just had a Tummy tuck and lipo 2 days ago but noticed I only lost 6 pounds. Any suggestions?

Hello,You should not weigh yourself, as you are swollen with water, adding much additional weight. A good time to weigh yourself is in 3 to 6 months. Having said that, body weight is not a good measure of body composition, so I tell my patients to throw out or give away their scales. Best of luck!

Having had surgery just two days ago, your body is
still in the very early stages of its healing process. Your body is swollen and
retaining fluid, which can actually add weight rather than take it away.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that a tummy tuck and liposuction
aren’t the same as a weight loss procedure, so you won’t necessarily see a
drastic drop in pounds. Instead, the real testament to your results will be how
your clothes fit and how you feel. Try not to get too hung up in a numbers
game.

Hello, Thank you for your question. It's too early into your recovery to make any final judgements. You may be retaining water and are swollen. Take care.

Thanks for your question.  As others have mentioned, a tummy tuck and lipo is not meant to be a weight loss procedure.  However, they will decrease your weight by a few pounds.  This early in the post-operative period your body is retaining a lot of water and tumescent solution from the liposuction so your true weight will not be known for some time.  Don't worry and just concentrate on healing well.  Best of luck to you.  

Thank you for your question. It is still early in your recovery to see true results as you are probably swollen and your body might be retaining water. I would suggest giving it more time. All the best in your recovery,
