Do a Google search for Prednisone and you will find that a sudden weight gain of 5 pounds or more is normal. Terrible but normal. Donna

Donna,, thanks for your reply.. I was only on a 6 day dose pack of this for an allergic reaction. I can understand that if I were on prednisone for a long period of time that it could happen and I would continually gain but 6 days OMG Well anyhow...each day I have been going up 1/2 lb and after loosing.. u know our minds do not want to see that wt gain lol

You should definitely let your bariatric doctor know about this and get his input on it.Good luck with everything. Joanne
