"Gastric Help Now - Gastroenterology Relief"

She is about 5 foot tall and 5 foot wide, has the most annoying New Zealand accent I have ever had to hear (it’s more like whining than talking). She is always sweating (due to her weight I believe) and smells constantly clammy, like the smell of wet groin area after a heavy workout.
She has no neck and looks like a human bowling ball, it is honestly one of the ugliest sites I have ever witnessed. Some work mates have aptly named her “The incredible Bulk”. When the lunch delivery is a few minutes late, you can see her getting angry and turning green. I have said to the delivery guy not to make her hungry, you wouldn’t like her when shes hungry.
I can guarantee that her BMI easily exceeds that of a Walrus. She has given me a new respect for the cheap office chairs which manage to withstand the huge force she excerpts on them each day. You can hear her breathing all day long, and is so fat that it affects her speech.
Many starving African children are in poverty due to this one woman. If she could physically get on a plane to Japan, they would fear that the great Godzilla has returned. Any caring restaurant or fast-food establishment would turn her away with advisement that she has clearly had enough.
I can’t take it much longer, I’m fit and healthy and it makes me physically ill to look at her or be in her presence.

What should be humanly done with this large mammal or do I just await the imminent heart attack to hit her.
Or will a caring animal welfare association roll her away to a large primate sanctuary.
Isn’t there some sort of number I can call to have her taken away for gastric band surgery.
Being fat is self inflicted.
I’m in no way ashamed, for hating and being utterly repulsed by overweight people, as it is their own fault and they look and smell disgusting.
In no way can being a fat person be compared to being “black” or “homosexual” as you do not choose your race or sexuality. However, you do choose to eat too much and not exercise.
People don’t believe its ok for crystal meth addicts to smoke themselves into oblivion, but some believe that eating yourself to death is acceptable.

**Note - I have now managed to rid the work-place of this huge beast, it was found during a fire drill (which I created for this purpose), that the incredible bulk could not safely evacuate the building in an acceptable time. Therefore the spherical female is no longer employed and can happily stay at home, eating all day long, without bothering healthy good looking people like myself.

i currently weigh 18st 10lbs and i am 5″5 inches tall. my bmi is 43.9
i have gained 7 stone in 3 years having two children back to back.

Does anyone know if hypnobanding works i am looking into having a gastric band but have heard that you can get hypnotised into thinking you have had a band fitted without going through surgery has anybody had hypnobanding done and has it worked

I had the lap band surgery in 2005 and have not been able to lose any weight with it. I was originally scheduled to have Gastric Bypass and could not have it as I was on a high dose of Prednisone and I take Ibuprofen every day. I was forced to have the Banding instead, although I wanted the bypass surgery.

I wanted to know if anyone has had the bypass AFTER having the Lap band. I am on track to be off prednisone forever and I badly want to have the bypass to get down to a healthy weight once and for all. Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve been overweight my entire life, and some of it truly is my thyroid. I’m considering either lap band or gastric bypass surgery, and I’m trying to get all the information I can about both. I meet the FDA qualifications to have either one (BMI of 41 plus 1 obesity-related disease), and I’ve heard both glowing reports and horror stories on each side. Have you had any experience with these, or can you tell me where I can get more information.

I have seen various discussions and have not come to any definate conclusions yet. Are their people who are no longer diabetic without resorting to gastric band surgery. What is a safe method of reversal.

The number of hospital admissions for obesity has risen more than 30% while the number of gastric band procedures has soared by 70%, figures have shown.

There were 10,571 NHS hospital admissions in 2009/10 where the main reason for treatment was that the person was obese.

The figure is more than 10 times the number in 1999/00 (979) and more than 30% higher than in 2008/09 (7,988).

Today’s report, from the NHS Information Centre, also revealed soaring numbers undergoing operations to help them lose weight and tens of thousands more people taking prescribed weight-loss pills.

In 2009/10, the number of bariatric surgery procedures in England reached 7,214, with women accounting for 80% of the total.

This is up 70% on the figure for 2008/09 of just over 4,200.

Of the most recent procedures, 1,444 were for maintenance of an existing gastric band and the operation was most common in the East Midlands and London.

In 2009, the number of prescription items dispensed for the treatment of obesity was 1.45 million - more than 11 times the number in 1999 (127,000) and up on the 1.28 million in 2008.

However, there are signs that obesity levels among adults may be stabilising, although it will take a few more years to see if this is a genuine downward trend.

Between 2008 and 2009, the percentage of obese men fell from 24% to 22% while the proportion of obese women fell from 25% to 24%.

Another 44% of men and 33% of women were regarded as overweight, according to the report.

Some 38% of adults had a too-high waist measurement, compared with 23% in 1993. A raised waist circumference is over 35in (88cm) for women and more than 40in (102cm) for men.

This pushes up the risks of health problems, including heart disease and diabetes.

Tim Straughan, chief executive of the NHS Information Centre, said: “This report shows the number of hospital admissions, procedures and prescriptions related to obesity are continuing to increase in England. “Our hospital data shows hospital admissions in the last financial year topped 10,000 for the first time while bariatric procedures passed 7,000. “This report brings together different strands of information to show how obesity impacts upon our society, both in the community and in our hospitals, and gives health professionals and policy makers a clearer picture of how this affects the health service and how it is changing over time.”

Tam Fry, from the National Obesity Forum, said: “This is the second year in succession that rates have risen by 30% and I would not be surprised if the figures for 2011/12 were similar. “They will prove to those who wish to dismiss the severity of the obesity crisis just how bad it is, and the rise in bariatric surgery is particularly revealing. “The present government cannot be held to account for obesity as it exists today but it must held to account if its policies are not better-focused to tackle it from now on.”
