In my case I had been losing weight to where I was skin and bones. I am 5'8" and I weighed about 130. After my Pallidotomy i gained about 20 pounds. My theory is that all the movement of my dyskinesia was burning a lot of calories. Now that I have very little dyskinesia I feel more like eating and I am not burning all those calories.
