Weight Gain Pre-OP

[michael1220 0]

For the past 6 weeks I have been very ill with the flu, sinus infection, Upper RI, etc

My doctor put me on Penisone and I have gained 7 lbs in 10 days. My 5th of 6 NUT visit is tomorrow. What happens if I gain weight?

The medical people will understand that prenisone (sp?)

causes weight gain.you will lose what you gained.

when i had to take it, it made me hungry as a horse!!!

Just make sure to tell them your taking the medication right away. Hopefully they will give you a little guidance on what to have and not have to shed that temporary weight.
