The Orb paperback edition also reads "underweight." If this version 
is correct, then Weer is always skinny, which would seem to throw at 
least a small monkey wrench into your 
time-splice-at-the-doctors-office theory. That is, if we have a 
"thin, prosperous" Weer rather than a "fat, prosperous" Weer, then 
there is less evidence that we have jumped from the Weer of one time 
to the Weer of another. At the very least, we have lost a convenient 
marker.
