Good to see you, too
I still have some of my pre-op symptoms, too, but I'm still way better than before.
Slowly but surely, I guess.

My then teen had this and also had stretch marks and trouble breathing. We had some testing done and he did have low testosterone. They would not help him. He had the same weight gain the. He is now almost 275 lbs and now he wont test for cushings. Maybe get some labwork and see whats going on. I am in remission of cushings.
