It has been six months since my appendectomy and i still have yet to gain my weight back. 155 preop, now at about 130 and still have digestion issues?

Need some evaluation: It's unusual to have ongoing symptoms this long after appendectomy, if it was uncomplicated. If it was complicated by perforation or abscess, it may take some time to get back to baseline. However, you should see your primary doc for further evaluation to be sure nothing else is going on. Make sure you see the pathology from the appendectomy too!
