I've gained 17 lbs since I had surgery to remove my prostate last February (Da Vinci robotic surgery). Is this normal?

It seems everything I eat I gain weight...

And everything has been shrinking (penis and testicles)..

Is this normal?

Has you activity level changed? Sometimes the pain of surgery demotivates people and they don't exercise as much as they use to or they change their diet without realizing it.

Might be something to discuss with your doc.

Five years after surgery, I weigh fifteen pounds less than when diagnosed. I would guess that some gain weight and some lose weight, but I don't think it ha any connection with the surgery. My guess would be that eating habits and level of activity would be the real contributing factors.
