This does not make sense.  I know I am an emotional eater, when I hurt I will eat, but....  When I was diagnoised (with adhesions), I was 5' 6", 137lbs.  and regulary worked out.  Through out this I have stayed physically fit, working out 4-7 days a week.  It was after my surgery 18 months ago that I stopped and my weight went up.  I feel this was the stupidest thing I could have done.

Another thing I heard from a nurse was that women of Scandanavian decent are more likely to suffer from adhesions than others.

Subject: Adhesions and weight: Is there a connection?

I was talking to a nurse last week at my GYN's office and she said that they predominately see more adhesions in overweight women than they do in thin women.  If this is true, how is that most women that complain about adhesion pain are rail thin because they can't eat??? Are they heavier before and then lose the weight because of the adhesions/digestive problems?

Also, she said that sedentary lifestyles add to adhesion problems but from what I have read on here, women give up exercising and the like BECAUSE of all the pain from the adhesions.

I'm so confused.
