Very, very few. What does happen, people become partially disabled,
move less, then gain weight because they have little else to do but eat.
Couple that with inactivity and you've seen the result.

When I tore my knee I gained 20 pounds from the time of injury to the
time of repair. Took me a couple of years to get the weight back off.
