Ok, here is my or should i say my wife's delima. She had an appendectomy about 6 yrs ago, very acute and gangerious (sp). All when well but it seemed like she started to gain some weight then. Btw, her stats were 4'11" 85-90lbs (she is 38yr old now), as she works out 5 days a wk and cardio at least an hr. Her diet is fine as she is mostly vegatarian, but she will eat dairy, chicken, fish etc. Well about 2 yrs ago she was complaining about this little bit of cellulite on her thigh, so she made an appointment with a board cert plastic surgeon and then made the hospital appointment for the procedure. Well to make a long story short, after the proceduce her legs and thing are blew up (as i hear now they will inject as much as 8 times more of saline solution then the fat they take out), it reduced but she never went back to normal. In fact it was worse. Now she is all bulked up and id say at least 30lbs more weight. Doesn't even look like the same person. She is very depressed now because she is doing all this working out, and her diet in great and it almost seems like she is getting bigger. We have went to countless drs/endo and nothing shows, (fasting glucose 109, t-3/4 fine, tsh, fine, cortisol fine etc.) Everything checks out, so where can she go from here? She has tried aldactone 75mg ed and doesn't work and we are thinking lasix now, but we really don't know if it is all bulk or water. She used to be petite and small boned and now she is like extreame bulky and even you can see it in her back and arms. He back you used to be able to see her shoulder blades and now they are all full chunky bulk. Any suggestions would be appreciated. She is becoming more and more depressed as summer is comming and it has been like 3 yrs since she has worn shorts or halter tops.

I personally don't know. She says it is water, but her legs, back, arms are much thicker than b4, no dr has been able to determine the cause all testing comes back normal. Shes even had a CT and MRI done and nothing. She has not changed her diet, like i said she is mostly vegan and doesn't eat anything with fat. She works out like crazy as well. And i used the wrong terminology, she is vegatarian, meaning she will eat eggs, dairy, chicken and fish, just no meat. Her diet hasn't changed since this happen and not her workouts.
