Asked By:jayberms in Toronto, ON

i had surgery breast revision done on my right breast, I lost 7 lbs before surgery .. I get out of surgery in a lot of pain, and I weigh myself a few days later and I'm 4-6 lbs heavier! I haven't eaten a thing barely? Could the percoets be making me retain fluids or water?
