Asked By:ddeegg99 in San Francisco, CA

Hello, I had lipo of my abdomen and thighs. The doctor said he took off approximately 5 liters of fat and that I should expect approximately a 10 lb weight loss. I am 3 weeks post op but only down 4 lbs. I have been eating well, started back at the gym, my swelling is down considerably. When should I see the scale move down? Have I already gained back this weight?
