Amberlynn Reid - 600 pound pathological liar and U-Haul lesbian moving in with her next live-in maid/nurse/girlfriend.

[London Raine]

I've seen XL caskets and she'd need more than that.

From my research, family isn't legally obligated to pay for a burial. So if the family can't ir won't, then the body is up for grabs for medical/scientific research as a cadaver. If the body isn't needed or suitable for that, then yeah it gets buried or cremated to dispose of the remains. Apparently the responsibility at that point is on local officials.

I thought of Amber yesterday (go figure) as I had an appointment for an MRI. Ya know, the kind that you make with your GP, get insurance approval, THEN go to the appt. I'm less than 1/2 her size and that sucker was a tight fit. I was looking at the machines, and she wouldn't fit in a single one. There's a weight limit on the tables too, so how does one so obese get any hospital tests done (besides a blood test). Even an x-ray has to get through all that fat.

And where the heck is she? It's been a week now since she uploaded. I would think she would be busy on YN or YT spilling all the deets on Becky. Maybe the next time we see her, all her belongings will be in Becky's bedroom

 

[Maggots on a Train]

I'm wondering who is going to pay for the funeral expenses? She'll be too big for the cremation oven I imagine, thus needing an XL casket and at least two grave plots to accommodate that.

Would Tammy be the "next of kin" responsible party or is there some sort of tax-dollar program that steps in for that sort of thing?

She will end up like Shay, the famous obese LJ pooper who ate herself to death.

Whatever was that business about her gallbladder? Did she actually have it removed or was that one of her substitute-the-ER-for-a-doctor's-appointment deals? I guess when you're that fat and couldn't fit in a machine for tests, they'd have to rely on ultrasound if the fat layers aren't too dense. After that, it's probably fuck all for diagnostic testing.

AL would def need to go to a special crematorium or have a special casket. She's just the person who keeps on taking more than her share, even postmortem. She's going to leave behind much more than just a financial mess, and animals. Removal of her body will take a crew of many. When her fat liquefies, whatever apartment home she is renting will require a hazmat crew to clean up what's left behind, especially if she's decomposing for a few days. There's no way Twinkie and the cats would be able to eat more than a few ounces of her.

:powerlevel:fftopic:I guess this is a bit PL /OT because it mentions my work as it relates to this Amber topic:

Amber has enough outside contact that she'd be discovered when she didn't check into social media (by ambabies) or answer her phone/door (by irl chauffeurs) before she got to liquefied status. I've encountered a completely liquified corpse before (we affectionately named him goo guy as he was a john doe), and he was pretty large. Took a forensic deep clean to clean the living room he was discovered in (by the homeowners when they returned from a holiday), and they had to completely repaint and replace the carpet and furniture. But as I said, that's an unlikely scenario because Amber has enough people aware of her.

For super morbidly obese people they can cremate at any size - but they will have to carve the deceased up by dis-articulating their limbs at the joints. I've never seen the process done myself but I did have an individual go through my morgue who they said would need that process.

As shitty as Amber is, in her defense, she didn't laugh about Manchester, she sang London Bridge is Falling down BEFORE she knew about the truck incident.

The first time Amber sang ' London Bridge is Falling Down' was an innocent mistake as she clearly didn't know about the London attacks!
She sang it again in a YouNow broadcast with Rafe!
Rafe was reading out a comment about the London attacks and soon as Rafe said 'London' she began singing 'London Bridge is Falling Down' fully aware what happened in London, Rafe shoot her a dirty look and then Amber squeals 'Like, who am I?' People called her out but she made herself look like a victim once again!

I THINK, in extremis, the hospitals use the standing machines used for animals. Don't take that as gospel tho...

She'd certainly never fit in a standard MRI (except maybe a toe at a time) but I don't know how useful such diagnostics are with enormous amounts of fat to penetrate. Soz for PL, but I fecked my ankle once and just the swelling made the x-rays confusing.

These size people tend to be in real trouble when they finally get to a hospital. Even if they have gone to the ER weekly with colds or pimples, they avoid any mention of obesity-related problems like the plague. Then, when crisis strikes, they won't fit on a trolley, in the ambulance, on ER beds, on operating tables, let alone in diagnostics machines. I live in a country with universal healthcare and the necessity for bariatric equipment is putting a serious strain on that system, but this level of morbid obesity is beyond most bariatric equipment and even limits where patients can be taken.

She already has serious problems with her feet. I think @Five Bladed Knife mentioned "Charcot feet" (I don't know enough about it outside MCT and CVT so they could easily be right) but she's constantly banging on about heel spurs. They are not the problem; the problem is weight -,she has collapsed arches and likely raging plantar fasciitis at the very least - the strap of tendon under the foot simply can't support that kind of weight. Her feet are terrible splayed, they "roll" outwards when she walks (classic PF sign) and her shoes have no support; they're already blown at the sides from that rolling motion. And no way can she reach her feet to even put supportive strapping on.

I know she writes us off as hadurrrz, but I don't hate her at all and certainly not for her weight. The real issue is that we tell the truth, and she knows it. She's just about young enough to not be feeling too much damage but if she lasts another five years she's going to be in a world of pain. No doctor will put artificial hips and knees into a person this size, it's too dangerous. But those are what will blow next, and her feet may already be beyond help. PF takes forever to heal in a person of healthy weight (people who run/walk on hard surfaces get it) but the only thing she's doing to help it is not moving much, and any benefit from that is destroyed the second she stands up.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that Amber quit her job because of her bathroom issues. It's hard to work comfortably when you come back smelling like piss and shit because you're incapable of cleaning yourself properly.

There is no way she wasn't having the shits with all the fatty shit she eats and all the diet cokes she was drinking. She also prolly sat in there fucking around on her phone stinking it up with her stinky vagina and asshole. (islamic rates only)

In the US there are open MRI's that accommodate well over 600 lbs. You might have to look around for them (your hospital of choice may not have them). Standing MRI' s are also in some facilities.

There may well be the same in some places here now. We're not far behind you in terms of needing to super-size everything.

The whole hospital thing is interesting (to me, anyway.) Both the US and UK use "scoop and run" emergency procedures, meaning they concentrate on getting you to hospital quick in the event of an emergency rather than in-transport treatment. Each country has different policies, but the super-morbidly obese must be a nightmare to co-ordinate. They won't fit in a normal ambulance, there's no point taking them to the local hospital if it doesn't have bariatric beds and on and on and on.

Will US health insurers even give these people coverage? The risks are so high, the requirements so specialised and the hospital options limited - anyone know if any insurer has just got to the point of refusing coverage?

Something I noticed on "My 600lb life" is that the surgeon seems to go in relatively blind and just has to tailor the surgery accordingly. There could be any number of reasons for that but it does beg the question of whether there are no useful diagnostics to be had beforehand. But I've only had major surgery once and they did every diagnostic available so I don't have anything like the experience (thank god) to know if that's normal. Perhaps the only option is "open 'er up and lets have a rummage!"

The thing about that show is Dr. Now is doing surgeries that (supposedly) no other doctor would feel comfortable doing. As far as I know there is a weight limit on weight loss surgeries, due to health complications and the high risk of the surgery if you're over a certain weight. Because Dr. Now performs his surgeries on patients that are in the 400-500 lb range, I imagine a lot of it is guesswork (hence why sometimes he has to switch to doing another type of the surgery mid surgery).

Of course - sorry, I wasn't being very clear.

It's because he is taking such a risk I'd have thought he'd use every diagnostic tool available, so he has an idea what's going on beforehand and, crucially, limits the time under anaesthesia. With patients this huge it's the anaesthetist who is the unsung hero - just getting a line in can be a nightmare, let alone keeping them breathing with all the flab relaxed onto their trachea. (Fuck...I got deja vu writing that. So weird.)

We see some tests but I've never heard MRIs mentioned. Maybe I missed it, maybe it's just not shown/discussed, maybe there is something that precludes the usefulness of scans on soft tissue - there's loads of maybes. Any of our medical farmers know if fat can blur scans to the point of uselessness? Or is it just that nobody wants to grease the tube up and squish them in

Afterthought - a lot of these people have regressed to an almost infantile state, they whine at the tiniest thing. Remember James K and his constant squealing "awuurgh mah layurgs?" And we all know how salty Big Al can be. MRI tuhes are insanely claustrophobic and many people need to be knocked out just for the scan. Perhaps it's too dangerous even to scan them? Even though it's not for long, it's pretty much uncontrolled anaesthesia.

More and more hospitals are forking over huge sums of cash (thank you kind donors!) for bariatric equipment.

A nearby one was making a considerable deal about purchasing a new MRI machine that "can accommodate more sizes" which ended up in the new ER.

And it's only going to get worse. Sign of the times.

Another example of how she is a bald faced liar... Watch at 7:25, she claims she couldn't finish a plate of apple crisp. She doesn't mention if she ate anything else but makes it seem like that was the only thing she ate while at the same time she posted on her Ask.fm what a typical binge is like for her;
(4 cups of white rice (Even 1 cup in an incredible amount for one person to eat) 27 buffalo nuggets, an ENTIRE PARTY SIZE bag of chips (are you fucking kidding me) TWELVE 100 Grand bars, a whole pint of ice cream, Dustin's left over dinner, 11 Popsicles and almonds. But she wants her Youtube Subscribers to believe she couldn't finish one plate of apple crisp? Really, Amber? Why you always lying, gorl?

 

[Assgardian]

I couldn't help but notice that all of her tumblr posts have 2 notes and I got curious and checked, obvs they're all Krystal and Destiny but shit, the balls on this bitch to vaguepost about her gf where she can see it. Hell, Destiny actually liked posts where Amber complained about her spending habits. Either she had no spine, thought it was funny or Amber would just use her account for more likes?

Also, I sure as shit would love if I could just take a whole week off work without a word to my bosses or co-workers to tend to my partner's sore foot. What gets me isn't that she doesn't post all week, it's that she doesn't think her viewers are entitled to a more professional post about the delay.

Surely she's not doing all that much for Becky either, but she's going to use any excuse she can get her paws on.

EDIT has it been noted that she and destiny shared a bank account?

Yeah. How hard is it for her to go on Younow once a day? Her and Becky are obviously just sitting on the couch and eating all day, and probably at Becky's expense. Any time she is with Becky she takes the time off and disappears off of the face of the Earth. This just shows there is no respect for her viewers or her actual 'fans' until she needs them. I'm sure there will be a 3 minute vlog uploaded in a week so she can order herself a pizza, and then that'll be it for another week. You're shit at your job, AL. You're just lucky you can't be fired gorl. Pathetic.

It has been noted that Destiny gave her a credit card for Christmas. I think Rafe spilled the tea on that..?
