Rapid weight gain after breast reduction? I've gained 30lbs all in my belly.

June 4, 2018
Asked By:Zarstar in Santa Clarita, CA

I wish someone would acknowledge the truth and quit telling me that my belly just "appears" bigger. In the 1.5 yr since my BR, I've gained 30lbs all in my belly. I'm not an over eater. Something about the breast reduction caused my body to react in a way that makes me store fat at a rapid pace. Could it have caused early menopause? Did it create a surge in hormones? Please don't tell me that its all in my head.Has this happened to anyone else?
