I had large volume lipo and a tummy tuck but I didn't loose too many pounds yet? Do you know why?
Answer: Weight After Surgery 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!

Answer: The numbers on the scale can be skewed at this stage. 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.

Answer: Minimal weight loss 2 days after tummy tuck 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.

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