Hello,
I think the weight gain is secondary to estrogen and progesterone intake. Removing a gall bladder has nothing to do with weight gain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Incomplete data like age, purpose of taking the prescribed medications?
Based on the history given the swelling around the ankles and feet seem to have been caused by the use of Prog 200 troche.
Prog 200 troche contains hormone progesterone, which in addition to other side effects is known to cause weight gain due to retention of salt and water resulting in (edema) swelling of the feet and ankles.
However, I would advise you to consult your treating doctor to rule out other causes of edema like thyroid diseases, diseases of the heart or kidney if any.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
