Strange Obese Stories

It is so sad...Okay we have read the story of the woman who was still 400 and some pounds and pregnant and died from complications from a strangulated bowel....Than there is the man up north somewhere?? Not sure where but he is finally in a hospital and weighs in at 1,076 pounds. They had to take him to a grain elevator or something to weigh him. They are working on helping him lose weight in the hospital and he needed help to care for himself. Luckily his wife got him the help that he needed. Lastly there was a lady I can't remember how much whe weighed but she had been a prisoner on her couch for 6 years and she became ill and the gentleman who cared for her called an ambulance. The people arrived and they had to enter the apartment in full contamination gear. It was gross and filthy. This poor womans skin was fused to the couch and they could not get her off of it to take her to the hospital. Also She had not been able to get up and go to the bathroom for a very long time...They had to take out a door or a wall to get her and the couch out of the apartment and put it on a trailer to take her to the hospital. SHe passed away at the hospital and had to be surgically removed from this couch...So far no charges were pending against this lunatic who was supposedly taking care of her and no one else in the apartment complex knew this woman lived there...just him and a couple of kids....How sad! And don't even get me started on the woman who wants to weigh 600 pds that was on entertainment tonight..SHe has to be mental! I understand when you become morbidly obese that you become a hermit a recluse and get to the point of not wanting to venture out of the house. I am so thankful that WLS is here for so many. Let's all say a prayer : angel:for those people who need to find a new beginning that there is someone out there to share WLS with them. Who knows it may be their last salvation. Thanks for letting me share
