ORIGINAL: YourhandMyAss I'm not agreeing with "forcedf eeding" and I don't doubt the guy will not stick around if she developes health concerns but not every fat person WILL get diabeties or blood sugar problems. There's a man who weighs 1200 pounds, and he was a documentary about him an his quest to loose weight, and even at 1200 he had no medical problems other than poor circulation and the inability to move about. So, not every morbidly obese person WILL get problems, but more like they may.quote:
ORIGINAL: nyrisa Due to the serious health risks of obesity, there is not a doctor alive who would condone an overweight person gaining more weight. This is not just body modification, this is killing her a little at a time, sort of along the lines of slow arsenic poisoning. You can bet your last dollar this guy will not be there to take care of her and pay her medical bills when diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, sleep apnea, joint damage to knees and hips, back problems, the list goes on......needs treatment. I am not at all poking at anyone who is overweight (one being myself); I would hope that anyone who already has to face these health problems would also advise her to not do this. Do you mean the one who DIED of a HEART ATTACK? worked out for him well eh? no health issues............. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/10/07/mexico.halfton.man.ap/index.html?section=cnn_latest Pleas for help come too late as half-ton man dies in Mexico updated 9:00 p.m. EDT, Tue October 7, 2008 JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) -- A 990-pound (450-kilogram), bedridden man who had appealed on Mexican television for help tackling his weight problem died Tuesday of heart failure, his family said. Jose Luis Garza, 47, tipped the scales at almost 1,000 pounds before his death. Emergency officials had to knock down Jose Luis Garza's bedroom wall and load him onto the back of a friend's pickup as he fought for his life. The 47-year-old was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in northern Mexico. Garza followed in the footsteps of the world's fattest man, fellow Mexican Manuel Uribe of Monterrey, by taking his weight problem public. Garza lived about an hour away from Uribe in the town of Juarez. Garza said he always struggled with his obesity, but that he fell into a desperate cycle of depression and overeating nine months ago after his parents died of natural causes within two weeks of each other. He had been bedridden for four months. Garza's condition deteriorated over the weekend as he struggled to breathe and eat. At his funeral, family members slammed state officials for not moving Garza to a hospital in Mexico before he became critically ill. "If he had received support at the time he asked for it, he would still be with us," said his brother Pedro Garza.
