A member asked:
Father seems to be losing, instead of gaining weight since his colon surgery, why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See his doctor: Sounds like you need to return to the surgeon and possibly to family doctor to assess the reasons for this. Without knowing his history and doing an exam it would be difficult to answer your question. What type of surgery did he have, why was it done, what are his other health issues?
