Suggest Remedies For Extreme Weight Gain Post Brain Surgery
I had brain surgery 18 months ago for a colloid cyst in the third ventricle and since then have had problems with weight and a lot of leg and feet swelling. My weight has gone up to 79.7 kg from 70kg and no amount of dieting helps. My legs sometimes feel as though they are burning up and they feel very heavy.

Hello,
It may be due to prolonged bed rest and sedentary life after major surgery. Diet control and exercises will be effective to lose extra weight.
Hormonal imbalances following brain surgery can also lead to weight gain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
