I had sigmoid colon resection surgery in 2007 and am now experiencing a hernia from the incision and have gained weight I cannot lose now. Is this normal. My doctor said it is not but did not know why I was gaining weight.
I had an intestinal resection in 2006 and gained about 100 lbs. when I wasn't eating much. Doctors dismissed my concerns like I had a body image problem for complaining. I saw the Wheat Belly lecture on PBS, gave up wheat, and saw my weight steadily return to normal. Also, remember quality probiotics like Garden of Life or Renew Life 25-30 billion cultures daily.
