Hi,
I had heart surgery one year ago and had a huge appetite afterwards and no weight loss. My friend David, who had endo cardititis and a mitral valve repair last week (11 days ago) has been losing weight every day. He went from 230 (after lots of IV fluid) on Oct.1 to 175 today, 33 days later. He is a large, healthy fit guy who works out and is normally is around 200 lbs. He eats some big meals, but doesn't seem to have a huge appetite. We will go to doc on Monday, but I wonder if losing weight after surgery is common???
Thanks,
Betsy
