I was a skinny kid, but I gained a lot of weight when I got sick (specifically, a bit more than half during the nine-month hospitalization for the first renal failure and a bit less than half during the six-month hospitalization for the second renal failure) and I weighed 346 at the doctor's today, but I get my heart and carotids scanned every year and they're fine. Just because you're fat doesn't mean your heart and circulatory system are a problem.

And in fact, there's some indication that obesity is virus-driven (http://www.nyp.org/news/health/060201.html). There was another study this year that I can't find online that said the virus may be most transmitted in hospitals (which would explain my weight gain).
