I had tickle lipo on my abs and love handles about four weeks ago. I weighed 178 and the doctor took out 5lbs of fat. I expected weight gain from the swelling, but I am unsure how much of the weight is due to swelling. I actually increased my workout and consume less calories since the surgery. I do have some swelling but my weight has been going up and down. I'm only able to get down to 178 but my weight increased to 183 after I stopped wearing the compression garment as instructed by the dr.
