Dear Patient,
Experiencing an increase in abdominal size several months after cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) can be concerning. While some postoperative swelling is normal, it typically subsides within a few weeks.
OC ROBOTICS SURGERY
Persistent or delayed abdominal enlargement may be attributed to several factors:
Dietary Changes: Post-surgery, some individuals may consume higher-fat foods, leading to weight gain and increased abdominal girth.
NOVA BARIATRICS
Digestive Adjustments: The absence of the gallbladder can alter digestion, potentially causing bloating or weight changes.
HEALTHLINE
Lifestyle Factors: Reduced physical activity during recovery might contribute to weight gain.
Given that you have no other symptoms, this change could be benign. However, it's important to rule out any underlying issues
