Brief Answer:
No, it will not reduce after surgery.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The chances of weight gain are more after hysterectomy because of hormonal imbalance.
So as your weight is already more you have to do lots of exercise and diet control to reduce your weight.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
