Asking For Someone else, Mother, Female, 75 Years old, karachi
My mom has lost alot of weight since her last hip bone surgery she is very skinny now she got duodenal ulcer which caused her internal bleeding after 6 months of hip bone surgery she survived than two months back she was admitted for low saturation and high bp it was treated winthin a day but all her test are fine i repeat every test after months then why she lost so much weight she used to be very healthy
contact me dear I will guide you properly
consult the surgeon or gastroenterologist in person with the patient and her record
She is advised to visit a surgeon
weight loss is due to poor oral intake and nutrition in most patients who have multiple issues. other possible causes could be neoplastic disease.

U should consult dietitian because after surgery patient loss weight due to not taking balanced diet with less protein intake and for fast healing there should be some changes in diet to recover fast and maintain healthy body weight
age and weight?
Get gastro consultation to rule out any stomach pathology plz!
Because she was on the bed for 6 months then she suffered from duodenal ulcer her diet intake was reduced much now increase her diet intake gradually
