Hi,

You need to get your thyroid profile done to look for cause of such weight gain. Lipid profile and sugar levels may also be needed to look for any signs of metabolic syndrome.

For bloating you can use antacids like Omerperazole before meals alongside motility agents like Domperidone or Itapride.

Fresh renal profile should be repeated for BUN, and urea creat and if raises, urinary sodium and ultrasound KUB may be needed along with urinalysis.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
