Thank you for your question. I am Dr Asanghanwa Carlson. I would say it is however unlikely that you gain weight due to that surgery 14 years ago in which part of your intestine was removed. it should be more to your lifestyle and eating habits. I would advise you first of all consult a digestive surgeon or a general surgeon for a second opinion as you said the first doctor admitted to making some errors and secondly you should consult a dietician for proper and adapted diets depending on what part of your intestine was removed. Wish you the best of luck.
