Is It Normal to Gain Weight the First Couple of Days After a Tummy Tuck W/lipo?

Yes, it is normal to retain Sodium and water during and after surgery, which will increase your total body weight.  You will gradually mobilize this fluid, and your weight will return toward normal.  Local tissues will remain swollen for weeks to months, and as this swelling diminishes, you will lose even more weight.

Weight gain after your surgery is caused by swelling and excess fluids that are trapped in your body. Please wear your compression garment and drink plenty of fluids as well as go to the washroom frequently to help ease the swelling. 

For sure!!!!!! I joke with my patients and tell them that the first few days they will think I had the Lipo machine hooked up backwards!!! Almost all patients retain water from surgery, even procedures other than Lipo!! Keep up on your fluid intake and it will flush out in the next few days!!!
