Asked By:Los Angeles4257 in Los Angeles, CA

I had lip of tummy and hips and flanks 4 weeks ago. 4 months before I did my legs. Since my last lipo, my weight has gone up by almost 2lbs and I have been feeling very depressed. When I ask my surgeon, he doesn't have a good answer and he says it's because I drink too much water probably! is it possible that my hormones have changed thus depression and why is my weight higher than before doing the tummy 4 weeks ago? the surgeon says he took 5lbs from legs and 1100cc's from the tummy and hips.
