Title: PD to Hemo
Post by: KICKSTART on August 26, 2009, 09:23:20 AM: Has anyone made the change over ? If you have ..do you get rid of your PD tummy? and do you start to lose weight (from not having fluid in) ? If you do , how long does it take ? I figure if im going to do hemo then i want to get back into my skinny jeans !!!!

I am still working on my tummy, but I finally feel like I have enough strength in my tummy to do crunches and its coming along, I LOVE not having that tube in my stomach. Thinking of you KS :waving;

I didn't go from PD to Hemo, but I did go from PD to kidney transplant. I noticed the belly reduction within 3 weeks. I no longer look 6 months pregnant. Hehehe!!!
