Possibly.: Assuming you have high blood calcium from one or more abnormal parathyroid glands successful surgery may improve memory and brain function but may have little effect on body weight.

Possible: hyperparathyroidism treatment with surgery will improve calcium level, and might improve some cognitive issues.. IT does not influence the weight gain
