TT, lipo flanks, is it normal to still swell 1.5 yr PO? I swell when I have sodium. I’m also a gastric sleeve patient 3 yrs PO.

Question

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

Every patient is different in how their body heals, but most patients are fully healed at one year. This means they would swell like they used to before their surgery. I personally have not had this surgery, but I do swell when I eat salty food and when I travel. This swelling may not be related to surgery. It is always best to ask your PS to make sure that all healed okay.
