Kidney donation - weight gain

I have asked my coordinator and they say that no one experiences weight gain but I have seen online that those with BMI equal or greater than 25 will gain weight. Just asking if any one knows of this from personal experience.

My daughter was a living kidney donor. She donated to her grandpa (my father in law). They both gained weight! They both attributed it IV fluids. She lost her weight. He continued to gain, but he was healthier and needed the weight gain. I can ask my daughter if she knows anything about donor weight gain in relation to BMI.
