Will I Lose The Body Mass If There Is A Sudden Weight Loss?
I have known that I have chf for the last 3 years. Yet this past Oct I learned that my liver and kidney were failing as well. I was advised to lose 100 lbs so I could be placed on a heart transplant list before learning of the other illness. Since Oct I have loss weight (268 to 185), because I lost it so fast did I lose body mask as well
