Hey Mick..

what procedure did she have done?? Liposuction??

Did she recently get on birth control or change her birth control?

Has she had her hormones tested?

STOP with the experimenting until you find out what the cause is!!!

Diuretics will cause a water rebound and it sounds like her body is in a total state of confusion as it has undergone a whole lot in the past year or so... sometimes the body needs to just re-adjust or re-allign itself on its own which would take about 1-3 months...

well, hit me back with some answers and we'll see what we can figure out

tell her to hang in there!!!

^I did say in my first post that we went to countless endo and drs all is normal (cortisol, t-3/4, tsh, fsh, cholesterol, lipids etc i can go on and on). None have been able to figure out the prob. I know for a fact it is not her diet, as it is the same as b4, she is totally committed to her diet and eats no sugars or deserts, works out 5 days ew 1hr of cardio. Her glucose was 109 borderline normal so she is trying this Metformin 500mg twice ed, but she has only been on it 2 wks, so no sure how long it will take to have an effect. She has another appointment with this endo, but he doesn't know either, so imo it is a waste of time. She has undergone three laparascopies within the last 3 yrs, for infetility issues, the last one she had tubal ligation due to us trying IVF (ligation helps prevent tubal etopic pregnancy). After we found out we couldn' conceive natually we decided not to go thru with IVF. Anyway, she had liposuction to the thigh areas about 2ys ago and 6 yrs ago had this acute to the point of gangarine appendix removal. So we were wondering if the extent of such a bad appendix had to do with the reason she had problems conceiving and the starting of this weight gain, or the liposuction, because we were reading that during the procedure they will inject as much as 8 times the amount of saline solution then the amount of fat removed. Remember we were talkining her about a woman then 32yrs old when she had the appendix removed then the laprascopites about 3-1/3yrs later, up to now she is 38 and was always 4'11" 85-90lbs and now totally dif composition to her body all thick not only legs, but back, arms, abdomin is swelled all the time when it used to be flat as a board. No one seems to know, and imo they don't even seem to care or want to get into the matter more indepth. My wife is not a hypocondric either and never complains, but this is just a radical change. Oh, it has been 5 months since the touchup liposcution, and 1 yr or alittle more since the last laparascopy which was the tubal ligation procdure. She has clubbed falopian tubes and partical blockage, that is the reason we can not conceive normally. We have read that sometimes abnormalites most of the time are caused by viruses or bacteria. She has never had infection, much less even yeast, never, so this is what lead us to think it might be the apendix or lipo or combo of both plus the laprascopies. She also now has pelvic pain, which is like a pressure near her lower abdominal area, and never had this prior to the laparascopies. I think the laparascopies cause adhesions. I wish now she had never had the laparascopies done. Her legs are now almost twice the sized and stomach distended and all this bulk in her upper body (arms, shoulders, back). She is very depressed, not to the point of phycological, but it is going to becomming spring again and you know how women well she used to dress sexy and shorts, halter tops and now it is long sweats and t-shirts.

To make it more clear, here is the time frames of laparacopies 2-1/2 yrs ago first one to see if there is abnormalities for conception her enod surgeon dr performs hsg where die is put thru tubes and finds blockages, and while doing laparascopy finds clubed tubes as well as septum, she removes septum in uterus so as to help if we were to do IVF. Second laparascopy about 8months later performed to do tubal ligation. Last yr 3rd laparascopy done to check to see why she is getting pelvic pain/pressure, no conclusion other then him saying may be due to adhesions. First liposcution to the thigh areas done in hospital by board cert plastic surgen done about 1-1/2 yrs ago, then touch up 5 months ago. Still no change. Diet and training of course after surgeries were held up for 6wk periods, but she has resumed her regular workout and diet hasn't changed, since all this took place. It has been about 1 yr 4month since her last laparscopy which the tubal was done.
