Hello,
weight gain has nothing to do with the aneurysm. If the weight gain is too abrupt, then perhaps you should review your medications with your doctor. Some medications may cause edema, which means that excessive water (and weight) is accumulated somewhere in the body. Your reduced physical activity (because you were afraid of aneurysm complications) may be part of the problem. Try to identify changes in your diet, activity and drugs during this last period and if they coincide with the weight gain. The aneurysm itself is not adequate explanation though!
Kind Regards!
