Do you have some kind of pre-existing medical thing that makes having sodium in your body more of a risk for surgery?

Doesn't matter about my salt-intake before surgery.
The reason why I should not eat salt for about 6 weeks after surgery is that salt leads to fluid buildup which leads to swelling which is something I have to avoid. The swelling could screw up the healing process.
