No. In order to develop lupus you have to have the right combination of genes plus triggers. The stress of surgery could trigger lupus in a person who is genetically predisposed, but not in a person who is not genetically predisposed.

Not necessarily, but many lupus patients will gain weight due to an anti-inflammatory drug that they often take called Prednisone. This causes excessive weight gain. Sometimes lupus effects the digestive organs, resulting in digestive issues that cause weight loss. Often medications and other symptoms of lupus cause the patient to feel nauseous and vomit a lot, which is also another cause of weight loss due to lupus.
