Could Weight Loss cause mask probs?

Posted by Barb (Seattle) on July 24, 2008 at 11:17:43:

My mask has been leaking like a sieve since I lost 7 pounds. Could there be a correlation? My numbers have gone up from sometimes 0 leaks to .20. A lot of times it was .04 which seems low. Anyone else have this happen as they lose or gain weight? I'm on low-carb and will.not.quit.till.I'm.Thin! Anyone here like to join me in this? Not low-carb, but some type of eating plan.We could all encourage each other. Sandman? Is that ok? :-)
