Hi Zuleikaa - it seems like ages since we last 'spoke'.

I just read this posting. Is it true the fat cells are actually reabsobed i.e. they eventally dissappear? I thought they just hung around empty forever. I hope I'm wrong!

Edit: Sorry I've just read above and I think my question has been answered.

I just found this one which definitely states that fat cells die:
