Weight Loss vs. Muscle Loss

In the June 2009 edition of Muscular Development it talks about how GH (Growth Hormone) can help a person from loosing muscle mass and size after weight loss surgery. I talks about how people who took GH preserved lean muscle mass, bone mass, and showed improved blood fat profiles. The people who did not take GH lost a lot more and had to regain everything after they got better from the surgery.

I believe that this is a good thing for people that are in the weightlifting, sports, and athletic field. Instead of loosing everything after weight loss surgery, you only have to recover a little bit of the muscle mass that you lost from the surgery.
