Re: Weight gain on Gleevec

[Guest guest]

Weight is a big issue<pardon the pun> I am way overweight and need to

lose weight badly. I am looking into a Gastric Bypass, but Dr.

Kantarjian is not to keen on this idea. I know if I don't lose a

significant amount of weight I will die soon and not from CML. CML

has become the " least " of my problems. I diet, and gain, I exercise

and gain. I feel the bypass is one of my only options left. Risky,

YES, but in the long run I think it will be worth it. Just putting my

2 cents in. This is not something I am doing lightly, I am

researching and talking with all my docs. Thanks for listening!
