One thing that comes to mind is SLEEP APNEA - this condtion is more common in overweight individuals and can lead to high blood pressure, fluid accumulation (which might explain the rapid weight gain)

Here are some links regarding sleep apnea

Please review these articles, and speak with your physician about getting a sleep study. If you are not happy with your doctor - you should get another physician with whom you can relate.

Have you had a sleep study done since the surgery? The surgery may not have corrected the problem
