Hello,

Post knee surgery, invariably movements become restricted for a few weeks, plus diet may not be proportionately reduced, which is probably the main reason for weight gain. Only taking various medicines to reduce weight is unlikely to give any benefit.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar
