A member asked:
Is it normal to gain significant amount of weight after kidney surgery?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: It is not common to gain weight after kidney surgery. The most common reason would be from all the IV fluid received during the procedure and while in the hospital. Without knowing more details about the surgery it is hard to give a more specific answer.

Depends: Without being clear on the type of kidney surgery this is nearly an impossible question to answer.
