In another post, a lady described how she got fat because of a brain tumour and thyreoid disease. Still too many people believe that you only get fat from eating to much. Do you have a story of getting fat because of medication, disease, genes, any other reason?

The first thing that came to my mind when I was reading the post on the lady that got overweight because of a tumour and thyreoid disease was a lady I'm supporting with surgery to reroute an amputated nerve in her leg, causing her debilitating nerve pain. She got Lyrica, Oxicodon, Tramadol and Amytriptilline. She was alway less than 50 kgs, within a year she was 110! She got a gastric bypass and it didn't help. She was NOT overeating! Then I researched these pain medications and I was shocked! Hopefully, now after 15 years of misery, we do have a surgeon who can help reroute the amputated nerve and hopefully she can recover and ditch all these pain medications!
