Your meninteirs disease (I can never spell that darn word) which

possible culprit.

Jo,

Thanks, I thought of that. Actually e-mailed dr. K last night and asked

if the mentrieres Syndrome could play a role in my problems. He said I should

have an endo occasionally to check for ulceration.

I also asked why people tend to lose weight after the pannie and here is

the official word....

The reason why panniculectomies jump start weight loss is that, with

panniculectomies I also tighten the abdominal wall. This gives the effect of a

tight

girdle worn all the times from inside, which in-turn, causes reduction in

appetite, and volume of food consumed. There is a large range of amount of

weight

loss in addition to the tissue taken off. The other reason is that with the

panniculum gone, the anatomic, and the physical barrier to be more active are

removed. Patients would tend to walk more, faster and more frequently, if they

did not carry a large panniculum with them all the time.

Hope this all helps,

Count yourself lucky...I wish I could sleep good....I'd gladly sleep one day

away....LOL. I think we deserve a lazy day once in a while.

Funny, I can remember being in high school and it would be a cool rainy

day, and I'd read and sleep and just be lazy and seemed like the weather was

made for a lazy day. I can't do that now, my back and hips won't allow it.

The pain is really baffling me. The hip joint feels tender. I even

thought of seeing if an ortho guy would inject it and see if it helped. The

weird is

the jump in pain from the knee and then pick up again at the ankle. It was

bad enough last night I was limping.

****sniff, sniff,.....it did not work for me....I lost the amount of

the weight of the skin and not an ounce more. There was a tightening

and I did lose my appetite for a while and found it restrictive, but

did not lose an ounce....

so again, YMMV, as we are all different...

sigh...
