Answer: Tummy tuck post op weight gain.
It is normal to be up a few pounds after a tummy tuck. The body will retain fluid as a normal response after trauma. It may take a few weeks to get back to normal. Be sure and stay in contact with your plastic surgeon. Sometimes patients will have a focal fluid collection, (seroma), that might have to be addressed.
