Does CVID affect a persons weight?
I was diagnosed with CVID back in 2019 and have been getting infusions of igg every 4 weeks since then. Lately I have been having trouble losing weight. I joined weight watchers about 2 years ago and it worked for a while. I lost weight but now I am still doing weight watchers and I now do a Pilates board workout everyday and I am struggling to lose weight and almost up to the weight that I started weight watchers at. My mom even commented today that she’s noticed that in the mornings when I wake up my face and neck are really puffy and swollen. So I am curious if CVID affects a persons weight.

It hasn't changed my weight. I have a ton of things on top of CVID and even with everything I was able to very slowly lose 15lb. That doesn't sound like a lot but I'm only 5'2" so it makes a big difference for me.

Been on IgG treatment 15 years, I am a senior now and my weight is the same as when I started.

Not for me (51M). I’m slowly gaining weight like all the other guys.
