Hey John,
I was wondering if you knew if GB patients can put on muscle like "normal" people?
The reason I ask is that I went to a surgeon's open house about 2 years ago and there was this really "big" guy in the audience. He was like 6'6".
He said he used to be a power lifter before he was obese and asked the surgeon if WLS would affect his ability to pack on muscle. That in effect he wanted to go from ex-power lifter to a "bodybuilder".
Well, the surgeon flatly stated yes!
That our surgery would inhibit our abilities to replace our fat with with that much muscle.
