Asked By:Gemkix79 in Anahiem, CA

I had a full tummy tuck 3 weeks ago with lipo of back and flanks and since have lost 17 pounds. I still am having alot of swelling. I noticed Today that my swelling is at a peek. Question 1 is that normal? And 2 why am I losing weight so fast now? I'm afraid to alter my results. I knew I would lose some weight but is that just to much?
