Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I am trying to find information on what my doctors thought I had after my bariatric surgery. I was pretty loopy, but the name is something like " rabdomyalasis " or " rabdomyelitis " . It is a " muscle wasting " disease that happens more frequently with obese folks after lying on a hard surgical table for quite a while. Another lady I know did have it, but I cannot find anything on the internet. My spelling must be pretty far off. Thanks for any help. Love & hugs...

It is kind of like your tiny muscle fibers are all ripping off and they go through your kidney filters and clog them up. It can be caused by a lot of things, including antihyperlipidemia drugs, and running marathons. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
