Nutrition & exercise: If you're actually fat (check your body mass index (bmi) as a start: www.http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/), whether overweight or obese, nutrition & exercise are key to getting healthy. But that may or may not have anything to do w/pain in upper part of your stomach. Heartburn? Ulcer? Pancreatitis? Gallstones? Go back & ask for more thorough evaluation. Perhaps underactive thyroid is why you've gained.
