A member asked:

Can you lose or gain weight after gallbladder surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not physiologic: You shouldn't have weight loss. You may have weight gain if you are enjoying fatty foods that were bothering you prior to your surgery. Just enjoy a balanced diet and moderate activity and your weight should stay steady. Good luck.
