Weight changes after cancer surgery can happen for various reasons, and it's completely understandable to have concerns about unexpected weight loss. Getting a second opinion sounds like a wise approach, as healthcare providers can help determine whether the weight change is related to surgery, medications, or other factors. Many others in this community have navigated similar concerns after treatment, so sharing experiences here might provide additional support and insights.
