Manuel Uribe from Mexico has just shed 460 pounds. Before his weightloss journey began he weighed 1,265 pounds or 570 kg. He now weighs in at an excelled 800 lbs or 350 kg.
The other day, Manuel wanted to celebrate in the local park. A forklift truck lifted him, bed and all, out of the house. A strong towtruck hauled him along the road, but unfortunately, it collided with a bridge. His bloodpressure plummeted, and doctors advised him to cancel.

He has been out to "events" before, since I have read of it in the paper in the past. Those "handling" his situation seem to be giving him ineffective counsel. The outing he attended previous had a circus atmosphere about it. He was not well served. He is a guy trying to save his own life, not a freak. ~Mary
ReplyDeleteGood grief, this is almost hard to believe! I cannot imagine anyone THAT big. Holy cow, I wonder what it costs to keep him supplied with food? Amazing, simply amazing.

i came across a television program showing the plight of some morbidly obese people, it just astounds me that the heart and all other organs cope...and i so feel for their carers as one assumes they have to be toileted, washed...sigh. I pondered on whether their situations were borne out of an addiction to food...i can sympathise with addiction issues, being a trying to stop smoker.
