Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Hypothyroidism is inevitable after thyroid surgery.
So patient needs to take thyroid hormone life long.
Hypothyroidism causes fluid accumulation in extravascular spaces.
So patient shows edema of face, lower limbs, abdomen etc.
And this cause weight gain.
So possibility of hypothyroidism is more in your case.
So first get done thyroid function test and start thyroid supplements.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
