Being obese and trying to recover from stroke and its walking and balance issues would be incredibly difficult. Since your doctor knows absolutely nothing on how to get you recovered you better be in fantastic shape beforehand. I was and I still haven't recovered in 13 years and will never recover at the rate stroke research is going. So 30 more years of being disabled and aging will not be kind to me. You're totally screwed if you have a stroke right now.
Obesity-stroke paradox exists in insulin-resistant patients but not insulin sensitive patients
Stroke — Xu J, et al. | May 06, 2019
In this investigation involving
1,227 participants, researchers studied the role of insulin resistance
as a potential contributor to the association between body mass index
and stroke outcomes. The Abnormal Glucose Regulation in Patients With
Acute Stroke Across-China registry included patients with ischemic
stroke but not diabetes mellitus. Significant interactions were noted
between body mass index and homeostasis model assessment–insulin
resistance with respect to the risks of mortality and poor functional
outcome. Investigators observed the mortality-obesity paradox and
functional outcome in patients with insulin resistance, but did not
observe the paradox of obesity in patients with insulin sensitivity.
Overall, they concluded that insulin resistance may be one of the
mechanisms underlying the obesity paradox of the outcome in patients
with ischemic stroke.
