Subject: Weight loss thru Hyperbaric

  I read in the LA Times-Valley Edition an article concerning weight
loss through hyperbaric treatment. The article was taken from a New
England scuba newsletter that stated that patients treated for DCI also
lost anywhere from 5-10lbs. in the process.  The newsletter claimed that
the  high pressures "squeezed fat" into the tissues and bloodstream and
therefore was carried out by metabolic process". They were touting that
hyperbaric treatment could be the new wave of rapid weight loss in the
future.
   I have one question: I do not seem any thinner after a very long dive
at pressures greater than 2 ATA, then how can this be possible other
than water loss? Any explanations or opinions?
