Facial Puffiness

Got a question for you....

I have been using the BiPAP for about 2 months mow, and during that time I appear to have gained quite a bit of weight.

But I was weighed day before yesterday and I have only put on 7 pounds since my low of 224 after a bout of bronchitis & flu in February.

What's more, nearly all of the apparent weight gain seems to be in my face! It is now fatter than it has ever been.

Is this something any of you have experienced? Or might it have more to do with us trying to balance my food intake with diabetes Rx?

(What I was wondering was whether the improved oxygenation was filling my facial fat cells with O2, giving the appearance of weight gain?)

I have diabetes also and the insulin is making me gain weight. i'm not gaining alot but a pound or two. I get my cpap machine next week i dont know what brand yet but i hope it dont make me gain weight in my face my face is fat enough
