Oh my gosh! same here.... I feel like the "Stay Puff Marshmellow Gal"! I gained 90 lbs when I got sick 4 years ago and have yet to lose any of it, -------------- Original message from "jrushton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -------------- In response to: I spent nine weeks in the hospital from Jan. to April in 1981. I haven't heard anyone talking about a swollen belly. I was 235 with 42 waist when I got this. When in the hospital I swelled so when discharged I was 205 with 60 inch waist. It stayed like that for many weeks, and when it finally went down any nervous excitement would make it blow up, this went on for over 20 yrs. When it blew up the band of pain was sometimes nearly unbearable. Ken in N.M. Ken, to this day I still have a poofy tummy that I did not have before TM and sometimes it is worse than others. Each doctor I mentioned it to just shrugged their shoulders so I didn't give it any more thought. I'm glad you mentioned it...Jeanne **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.
