Manuel Uribe of Mexico, World's Heaviest Living Man at 1,200 Lbs
Friday, June 6, 2008
At top of his weight of more than 1,200 lbs, 42-year-old Manuel Uribe from Monterrey, was considered the world's heaviest living man in medical history. He is currently on
The Zone diet under supervision of doctors and nutritionist, and is now slowly losing weight. He do exercise on his bed by doing dancing-like motion to speed up his metabolism.
Uribe is beyond the kind of overweight that comes from fast food and lack of exercise. Doctors call it morbid obesity.
According to the National Institutes of Health, obesity means weighing 20 percent or more than your ideal body weight, and it's a health risk.
Morbid obesity is altogether different. Sometimes called "clinically severe obesity," it means you're 100 pounds or more over ideal body weight, with a body mass index of 40 or higher.
Uribe doesn't gain weight like the rest of us. Brain chemistry, genetic mutation, addiction, psychological pain -- or an unhappy combination of all of them -- makes morbid obesity one of the biggest mysteries of medicine.

Manuel, please get the surgery. The doctors from The Zone do not have your best interest at heart. You do not have the luxery of time on your side. Surgery would help you lose the weight fast, then you could have the lymphedemas removed, and you could be living a much better life. Diet alone will never work. Go with God.
Manuel you need the surgery this will help you have a healthier life and be able to go out and spend time with your girlfriend.
