Hot Climate and Travel After Tummy Tuck?

June 27, 2013
Asked By:MollyRN in Clinton, New Jersey

8 weeks post op with normal surgery and recovery. No complications. I was 4lbs up from pre surgery weight and arrived in a tropical location this week and my weight jumped up 5lbs in a week and I feel very swollen. I am more active and it is very hot and humid. Is the weight gain swelling related? Am I doing damage?
