Hello,

new to this forum, so hello all!


6 years ago, I was diagnosed with hodgkin's disease. Pre-treatment, my weight was around 160lbs.

I dropped down to 110-ish during treatment.


I am 5 years off treatment and have ballooned to 250lbs (bmi 35 & change). Weight was never a problem pre-treatment.


I always feel full (very rarely feeling *hungry*). Two pieces of pizza, for example, will hold me all day. I drink water or diet sodas. I have maybe 4 alcoholic drinks a week.

I also have severe heartburn. Many times (2-3 times a week), I induce vomiting after a meal (not a large meal) because the acid is 'bubbling' into my esophagus and causing incredible pain.


I am on a prescription heartburn medicine now (prilosec?). But what's up with the weight gain? I've gained probably 10-15 pounds this past year.

Reactions?


Thanks!

Edit: forgot to mention, i'm 24.
