COMBINATION OF SURGERY AND DIET AND THE FATTEST HEAVIEST MAN IN THE WORLD LOSES HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF WEIGHT HE PLANS TO STAND AT HIS WEDDING

I am fascinated or at least very interested in weight loss gastric bypass surgery. I thought about gastric bypass and obesity again while I was watching a report about the world's fattest, the world's heaviest person Manuel Uribe. I know two teenagers who have recently had gastric bypass surgery and have lost a lot of weight and are happy with the results. Even so, any surgery including gastric bypass surgery has significant risks and these must be considered.

Anyway Uribe, the world's fattest man or at least he was the world's heaviest has dropped a lot of weight through a combination of surgery and a diet. It's quite an inspiration to read his story. Uribe has a girlfriend. Apparently his romance is a big part of his motivation to lose weight. One of his goal's is to stand at his wedding. And of course it helps when you have people, like his girlfriend, who care about you and are there for you. Uribe "dubbed the world's fattest by the Guinness Book of World Records has dropped 570 pounds, nearly half his body weight, according to a report from the French news agency". Uribe had surgery but it was not gastric bypass weight surgery rather it was surgery to remove a tumor and some tissue. The surgery did remove more than a hundred pounds of fat and tissue. He has however with the help of doctors lost an additional hundreds of pounds of weight.











"Manuel Uribe, 42, weighed 1,257 pounds at his heaviest. He was bed-ridden for five years and doctors from the United States, Italy and Mexico have been helping Uribe lose weight through dieting and exercise for the past two years, it is reported". According to the Wikipedia entry "Uribe was halfway to a picnic near his Monterrey-area home on March 9, 2008, to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday, when one of the posts holding a tarpaulin over his bed to shield him from the sun hit an overpass, so he had to return home for health reasons. His weight loss efforts continue.

It goes on "devotion to the Zone Diet has been the only weight loss program to have such a positive impact on the Mexican man, whose weight once topped 1,200 pounds. Dr. Barry Sears, along with Dr. Silvia Orozco Avina and Dr. Gustavo Orozco Avina, are at the helm of the interdisciplinary team of doctors, nutritionists and exercise physiologists who continue to work diligently to help Manuel reach his goal and his birthday".



"Manuel's current diet consists of about 2,000 calories per day broken up into six meals. His specially designed menu includes a wide variety of meals including egg-white omelets, fresh salads, chicken fajitas and fish fillet in a bed of spring greens".
