Seven pound weight gain 3 weeks post-op Tummy Tuck with Lipo

June 28, 2015
Asked By:Jealbaroma in Jacksonville, FL

I had a full TT with lipo 3.5 weeks ago. 5 days post-op I weighed 15 lbs LESS than my pre-op weight. In the past 2 weeks my weight has crept up, now I'm weighing 7 lbs MORE. I still have one drain in which is draining about 120 cc's of dark red fluid daily. I'm still VERY tight especially in my lower abdomen and back below my waist. I'm a gastric sleeve patient and have lost over 120 lbs. Is this weight gain actual fat? Could this still water retention? I'm kinda discouraged. :(
