I want to know if having surgery will somehow make you lose weight. Obviously the shrinking of the stomach surgery (gastric) or something does, how about other surgeries??

That comes from not eating due to having anesthesia. Also, pain & pain medication can decrease your appetite. When your body is healing, all of your energy goes toward the healing. That's why simple activity can wipe you out afterwards.

Back in the 90's my appendix ruptured and I ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks fed via IV only. I lost 30 lbs. but I wouldn't recommend it, hehehe.

Any surgery will do it, b/c your diet is very restricted right after it, you're bound to loose few pounds. I had my appendix taken out when I was 16 and lost about 10 lbs. b/c of it.

People don't eat as much when they are in bed in a hospital and the food isn't all that great. Plus loss of blood usually. That help?

I know people that have had lyposuction and they are bigger now (a little bit later) then they were before the surgery.

eat four meals with chopsticks instead of a fork slowing down can help you consume about 25 fewer calories per meal
