weight gain

I was just wondering if anyont had experienced rapid weight gain after their implant. I have gained 20 pounds in one month! Granted I could have used a couple extra pounds on me, I never expected to gain that much...Does it ever stop or am I just going to blow up like a baloon? I exercise and eat right, even minimally but it won't seem to go away!

There's absolutely nothing about a pacemaker by itself that should cause weight gain. Are you on any meds? Some of them have side effects that include weight gain. You might want to check in with your doctor.

See your doc and discuss it all with him. About the time I needed a pacemaker my thyroid became undeactive leading to weight gain. However much I try I just cannot shift the extra kilos.

Like, Chocolate but not that much my friend. Talk to your Doc, and go over your diet with himher, and get up and out. Run around in cricles and scream and shout !!!

Oh yeah, thats my job :)

Also I know what stress you ar under, so hang in there and see the doc. If nothing else to know one thing off the list.

Hang tight ARRRRRR

Forgot we aren't supposed to strech our arms, rats... :)

You know you're wired when...

You get your device tuned-up for hot dates.
