weight gain and big appetite

weight gain and big appetite

Has anyone got the answers yet? Because after my second son was born four years ago in april the doctor detected gall stones in my gallbladder, and I didn't want to operate because my son was a little baby and I waited after a year to get this operation. I weighed 279 before the cesarea.When I had my baby I lost 40 pounds and weighed then 239 pounds. After the gallbladder surgery I gained 24 pounds and I started to suffer from high blood pressure. Since then I'm taking a pill everyday for that condition. And I don't see my weight coming down since then. Also I gained a lot of fat around my waist(ussually I was fat but with a small waist in comparison with my hips)
And also have lots of appetite. I'm thinking of undergoing the gastric bypass surgery. My house doctor tells me it's all in my head about the weight gain around the middle and I'm afraid that this can lead to diabetes in the future.
But I know that everyone that I know that did this operation gained weight and fat around their middle too, and I knew them before the surgery and their body was'nt like that. I want answers from a doctor please
