35yo male, tummy tuck and chest reduction after losing 100lbs in the gym -

After losing 100lbs, I had an extended tummy tuck and chest reduction before Christmas. Everything went amazingly and the recovery was a lot lot better than I expected. The results after week 1 were amazing and I was very pleased, particularly as I was told I still had swelling and that it would go down.

8 weeks on however and I've ballooned - my surgeon says that because I'm back to work (office job), garments are off and I'm generally more active, that this is causing swelling and that it will go down at months 4-6. I have to take this as gospel although it's hard when seeing me get bigger - he's an absolutely professional but I would be really interested to hear of anyone else had had similar experiences?

Attached are pictures of pre/post op, and then 1 week post op vs 8 weeks post op.

Thanks

8 weeks on and rather than swelling going down, swelling has got worse. Has anyone else found this? My surgeon tells me that I will return to normal anything from 4-6 months post op (I'm 2 months at the moment) which I hope will happen, but really interested to hear any other stories? The attached picture shows the difference from 1 week post op, to now which is 8 weeks

I'm 6 weeks post op and a little concerned. 1 week after the op I felt a lot trimmer, tighter, flatter in my chest, hips and tummy. Now it feels as though things have started to relax, sag and bulge and while there is an improvement since before the operation, I'm worried where this is going and what I'll be left with. I saw my surgeon 3 weeks after the op and he assured me that I had swelling which would reduce but if anything it's been the opposite?

Worried
