A member asked:

Just had a laparscopy and dye test op why have i put weight on is it the swelling and gas ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wt gain not related: to laparoscopy ,most of the left over air will get absorbed in 24hrs leaving trace of air only. Your weight gain , probably due to inactivity , due to your ankle problem, eat less be more active you will loose weight.
