I’ve been struggling with gout in both feet for the past two weeks I am at week seven now, my surgeon made a comment that it seems like there’s more gout cases after sleeve surgery. Has anybody heard about an upward trend in gout cases after the sleeve surgery? This case is probably lasting so long because I can’t take any medication for it because of surgery.

I had to drink 4 protein drinks for two wks before surgery .. I got gout 3 days before surgery .. then every time I drank the protein drink ..I read gout because of fast weight loss .. nut said to try 1/2 protein or plant based ... plus lots water .. good luck .. gout is bad
