Hi..Im posing this message for the group and any MD's out there who
would like to answer. I lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks (formal stable
weight of 192) and went down to 181 and stayed there (179 in the
morning)for about 4 weeks now. I was exercising and feeling good. Then
the weight loss happened and I had insomnia and depression. I went to
the GI man who did a CT and a abdominal ultrasound...all negative. But
I cant seem to put back on the weight EXCEPT when I decrease or stop
the exercise routine. So I can only gain back when I stop
exercising..and when I do..I go back towards 181 again. Just how does
the unexpected weight loss work? With cancer..can you go back up? Im
thinking of getting a ERCP...even if I have to pay for it with out of
my pocket...I need information from the group and informed individuals
to help me make a decision.

Thanks!--Steve
