The census.gov says there are a little under 260 million adults in the united states, and we know obesity is something like approaching 40% of these adults, so 104 million.
10,000 is not even one thousandth of a percentage point of the obese people of the untied states.
For contrast, a disease is considered rare if it occurs 1 in every 1500 people in the united states. A person who un-obesity's themselves into healthy weight is literally a magnitude rarer than this.
