that is the first time I've heard of gaining weight due to illness...did you catch wild haggis fever?[/QUOTE]
I had a lot of kidney and liver problems so I was hungry a lot but didn't really have the energy to excersise. The result was a lot of weight around the stomach and hips.
I've lsot a lot of it now, but there's still a lot of lose skin that will take a few years to spring back into shape.
