Obesity

I most recently learned that I have a bad or small heart valve, which is most likely causing my obesity. Do you still have fat pregadice?

    No, I don't. I try not to judge folks for their appearance. I certainly wouldn't pre-judge you for being overweight. To answer the other question about your heart causing your weight problem, I am not qualified to even guess. Ask your cardiologist. This post was edited by Element 99 at August 20, 2019 8:06 AM MDT

    I'm not sure why a small heart valve would cause you to be obese.  I would think it has more to do with the amount of calories you take in relative to the amount of calories you burn, but I don't judge people by their size.

    I swell because the heart valve pumping doesn't do it well enough to keep my metabolism up to speed. Something like that,the doctor said. My calories are fine,and I burn alot.

    Swelling is not obesity. Obesity is an excess amount of body fat.  I don't make any assumptions about a person based on body size.

    It sounds like it could be water retention or edema.
