Swell hell! I am currently 10 more pounds than I was before I went in! Is this normal? (photos)

Yes, it is common to
temporarily gain 5-10 pounds right after a tummy tuck. This is due to swelling
and the retaining of fluids. That being said, 10 pounds is a little on the high
side. It is hard to say if your swelling is normal or not because we do not
know when your operation was. Considerable swelling is very common, and
although the majority of it usually goes down within 6 months, it can take a
year for swelling to disappear completely. I
recommend following up with your surgeon throughout your recovery to ensure
that everything is healing normally and there is no fluid collection that is
contributing to the swelling. Best regards.

Your photos do not show any obvious problems and you appear to be healing well.  Knowing exactly what you had done may shed more light on this issue.  That said, swelling of the area above the incision is very common and may persist for weeks to months until it is finally resolved.  This swelling is normal and can be greater in one person than another.  See if you can get an earlier appointment with your surgeon just for a quick check, to be sure there is not a fluid collection and to set your mind at ease.

After a tummy tuck it is expected that your abdomen will be swollen for many weeks, sometimes even months.The last area that swelling tends to be noticeable, as you mention, is just above the incision.  Eventually, this swelling will resolve as well.What we don't know is when your operation was!But from the photos you've provided, everything appears to be healing up just fine. It is common to weigh more than you did prior to your tummy tuck, because your body holds on to fluid for awhile before returning to its normal state. Definitely discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon, but remember that time is your friend with regards to healing up after a tummy tuck, and in a few months, your weight will likely be back to normal, and you'll be very pleased with your results. 

It is absolutely normal to be swollen after a procedure like a tummy tuck, Your body has just gone through a major surgery and needs to recover. You can expect some swelling typically for about 4-6 months. Always follow your doctors instructions when it comes to the post op care.

Talk to your plastic surgeon so that he/she can examine and advise you more appropropriately and rule out more serious causes of swelling. And just bc your appointment is in 2 weeks, doesn't mean your plastic surgeon expects you to wait if there are concern. Call your plastic surgeon and make an appointment to address your concerns earlier rather than later. He or she is there to guide you through this journey. And your concerns will be important to him/her.However, you are still early in your recovery phase and swelling can take months to truly resolve. It is a common complaint for patients that undergo tummy tucks to feel swollen immediately after removing the garment. A few things that may help: 1. make sure your garment is still giving you the appropriate compression. If too loose, it's not helping. If its too tight, your legs will swell.2. decrease yout salt intake. Drink plenty of water. That helps alot with the swelling. Many times patients drink less water thinking it will make the swelling resolve. The opposite is true. 3. Change positions frequently. If you are in a chair/desk position most of the time. Make sure you are getting up and walking around frequently to help with circulation. 4. Eat high fiber fruits and veggies to help with constipation and bloating which can also make you feel even more uncomfortable and "tight" in a compression garment.I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. It is very common to get swelling and gain weight in immediate post op tummy tuck secondary to fluid retention. Gaining  10 pounds sounds excessive. Please talk to your PS. Mean while cut down salt and continue to wear fit garment. Good luck

Thanks
for your question. I am sorry to hear about the excessive swelling after
your tummy tuck. In our plastic surgery clinic, we outfit our patients with a
customized surgical garment which is used to help prevent swelling, along with
a post-tummy tuck diet. However, swelling is an annoying and inevitable part of
plastic surgery. I would recommend moving your appointment up just for
your own peace of mind. Best to you. -Dr. Coan.

Swelling and puffiness following procedures is very common.   I always tell my patients to avoid getting on the scales for at least a week after their procedures because of fluid retention.With that being understood, 10 pounds seems excessive.  Would contact your surgeon and move-up your next appointment. 

It takes 1 month for ~50% of the swelling to resolve and 3 months for ~80% to resolve. Swelling and water retention are common after liposuction. For more specific advice, please contact your surgeon. Best wishes

Swelling is common after surgery and can cause some weight gain. 10 lbs sounds like a lot. You might want to see your doctor sooner to make sure you are ok.
