Hello everyone

Just wondered if anyone on the board had experienced this.

Rick has had zolodex for a little over 2 months and apart from the odd hot flush, the only other symptom has been a 'beer belly' quite noticeable to him. Don't know if this is due to something like too many beers or due to the hormones??

Anyone had this?

Thanks

Julia

Men have been known to experience weight gain as a result of hormone therapy, but haven't heard that it speifically causes a beer gut.

I am a lean person with not much body fat. Immediately after Da Vinci I developed a roll of fat just below the navel in the area where the 5 incisions were made. This was a surprise to me as I lost weight during the 5 days I was in hospital. It hung around for months and gradually diminished as my exercise increased.
