Ok, gym rats -- question on creatine

[Guest guest]

hiya fellow gym rats (you know who you are) lol...

i really need to increase the amount i can lift in the next two

weeks, my trainer recommended creatine though he admits that he

doesn't know the effects of it on a gastric bypass patient (and he

warned it causes some weight gain)

i've been doing reading online about creatine, hear one side saying

how great it is for increased muscle mass but other side says that

all it does it put water in the muscles to make the look bigger --

anyone use creatine -- if so what is your experience with it (dosage,

what do you take it with, results) etc

thanks much!
