Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Cheryl, I´m the same way. I also have problem to put some weight on my thin body... When I began to have my first gastro problem I began to lose weight too, since that I lost close to 20 lbs, and never recovered it back. Now I weight 80 lbs. Some days I have a good appetite, but as I also have reflux, I´m not able to eat so much in one meal. Great 2002 for you all, Liane > -I have just the oppisite problem. I can not gain weight.
