at one point during the show the interviewer said something to the effect of "you're eating things that are bad for you in large amounts" and he immediately became defensive, saying how he didn't, how he only ate small amounts, and that those small amounts just turned into all that fat... total BS in other words, and his domineering personality showed right through and how he hasn't come to terms with it. the other thing they said was that they'd never consumated their marriage, no big surprise there...

Stomach stapled.

they should staple his lips

Stomach stapled.

Damn...expect that guy to be dead in less than 10 years. My mother had a freind that had that done. Sure, she lost alot of weight but she died like 10 years later. I saw a documentary on stomach stapling and it's kind of scary. I guess 10 years of a normal life is better than 20 years not being able to do anything.

I don't think many people have died from this. Gastricbypass is pretty common procedure these days...for the fat and lazy!

Maybe not from the procedure itself, but the effects it has on the body in the years to come can be pretty bad.

:hmmm: I guess so. I have heard that those that have it done can eat too much and tear the stomach that is now the size of a thumb!

[dreamgirl]

i saw this and it amazed me that someone could let it go that far...

my hubby and I always have conversations about what are the long term effects from gastric bypass... it's got to be the same as some one with malnutrition.

anyone know?

the grossiest part was the "seeping tissue" where his skin had lost all its elasticity and sebum was just oozing out of his skin...yummy!
