Weight loss after gall bladder removal
Hi, this is regarding my father. He had a gall bladder stone surgery in the last week of February 2022. It was a process of removing the gall bladder along with the stone inside it which was about 6mm via the process of laproscopic surgery.
His diet has decreased since then. He has lost quite some weight he was 65kgs and now he is 59kgs. He says he feels full all the time and if he tries to force eat he has vomiting tendencies. I wanted to consult on this see what do you suggest?
His condition:
1) he has high blood pressure and takes regular medicine once a day of 40mg
2) he has cholesterol and takes one medicine per day that is of 40mg as well
3) his CT scan shows a small lipoma in the lower intestine.
