Yeah idk if the meds cause me to gain weight. I quit smoking about 6 years ago. And I gained weight when I was smoking I wasn’t this big. I’ve tried working out , dieting etc and nothing seems to work. I’m thinking about getting surgery to try and loose weight. I’m too fat....

sometimes your meds are to blame for weight issues. you should check up and see if weight control is a side effect to your meds. i know some hiv meds also redistribute body fat, so you'll be heavier in the belly like a pig, but your arms and legs will look like thin like chickens.
