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

[Strine]

Amber isn't going to lose weight. She has untreated type 2 diabetes (not 1; she would be long dead) and will die from that within 5 years. Grim yes, sad yes, but there's no evidence whatsoever that she'll swerve from her current trajectory.

 

[Guardsman42]

If she had undiagnosed type 1, she would lose weight, because the body would be lacking the ability to put any energy into storage as fat, and short of eating 24/7/365, you are going to burn fat throughout the day, or at night when you are sleeping. Whether or not you lose weight with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes has literally nothing to do with what you eat, you WILL lose dramatic amounts of weight even on an amberlynn diet. It is a catastrophic failure of the endocrine system that is 100% lethal without modern medical intervention.

I doubt she would be having surgeries at her size. Too risky to put her under. If she did a 180 and started going to an actual doctor, she would most likely be put on metformin to curb insulin resistance, which she is guaranteed to have at that size regardless of whether she has full blown diabetes yet. She would be put on a very strict diet, and would be put into intensive therapy to straighten out that twisted mind of hers.Necrotic tissue would be de-bridled, and she would have to grit her teeth through the process.

Not that it will ever happen. If Amber possessed the mental faculty to get help, she wouldnt have let herself get to 600 elbees in the first place. The only time any of that will happen is when she is in the hospital after a major medical incident, at which point she will be both bedbound and on a slippery downward slope. Much like chance, she will suffer one infection and wound after another until she eventually croaks.

EDIT: holy fuckin engrish.

I just want to point out if she had stuff like necrotic flesh etc; they'd be doing surgeries to remove it. Even at her size, gangrene etc can kill you faster then the surgery.

I don't want think they'd bother with Metformin in her case, it's actually completely useless past a certain point, she'd likely be on an insulin pump using U300, if not U500.

At her size, they will very likely try and convince her to let them take the limb if it is necrotic. They will try not to if she really puts up a fight but if it has to go, it has to go. At least then she can blame the shit doctors for putting her in the bed.

As far as fatties go, they try and avoid insulin, generally, to avoid them putting on more weight easier, though much like treating necroses and sepsis, this is on a case by case basis.

I can’t wrap my mind around how often, and in what massive quantities, Big Al would have to be eating to be gaining so rapidly at such an already obscene size.

Perhaps I lack imagination (and in this case I’m very glad for it). Does she lie on the floor with her mouth open while the Thumb & Mumbles shovel hams, and Cheetos, and chocolates in? Is ALL her effort going towards eating and she has none left for anything else?

I understand the amount of calories involved, I’m just trying to picture it in actual food.

She eats out every single day, so that's why. And she's sedentary.

Metformin is almost always replaced as time goes on by insulin. There's supplementals but Hamber is likely well past the point Metformin+Supplementals will help.

I know first hand all about this stuff. She'd at the very least be on an emergency Insulin drip during a hospital stay due to the dangerous of high blood sugars and infections.

Eating out is alot of damn calories. In general, if you can make it at home for 500 calories, eating out will some how add another 500 to the same dish.

And yes, she is literally a person who wakes up, and starts eating. In between meals, she's eating entire bags of candy. Like family size ones.

 

[This comment matters]

Now that its December, how long until hamber makes everyone open Christmas presents? Two, three days?

 

[Guardsman42]

Even though WLS doesn't guarantee success (and is fraught with potential health issues for those who don't follow guidelines), I would definitely agree that it's AL's only chance to see any sort of significant sustained change at this point. Unfortunately (as discussed before) AL has actually sized out of the point that any regular surgeon is willing to take the risk of having her on the table (even if she made the decision to budget and save the money to do it privately - which she won't).

We need some one medically inclined to figure out her chances of dying in WLS surgery right now. Or hell, any surgery.

After eating at a restaurant she eats an entire pint of ice cream (1100 to 1200 calories) and says, "I had a Ben & Jerry's too."
A snack she showed us she has while watching TV was ¾ of a Family Size bag of Cheetos Puffs (2400 calories) + a giant Dove chocolate bar (probably between 1,500 and 2500 calories) + a Sprite.
These are in addition to her regular restaurant meals etc. She's just stuffing calorically dense processed food in.

There are a ton of factors, including breathing issues, calculating the correct amount of anesthetic, her heart giving out, and that's not counting stuff that can go wrong related to the type of surgery itself. Ultimately though the question isn't her risks if she does the surgery, because it's a certainty that she won't live if she continues on the path she's on.

 

[Twinkie]

Yeah liquid calories are probably a large part of it. It's easy to get fat eating out every day but not THAT fucking fat. She is sucking down sugar-filled drinks for sure.

 

[Tiny Clanger]

Pretty sure she's said they are growing in quite a few times, I take that as she's just going to let them be. Aside from this video today, well and in it I guess, she's always touted herself for having AHMAZEENG teeth. She had all her cavities taken care of at 18, you know.

Not to worry. When they all fall out the world will be introduced to the ornj chikkun smoothie. Our girl's concept of juicing is 1) buy loads of unnecessary equipment to do it and 2) apply it to McDonalds.

She would need a full and complete physical and ekg to know for sure. There are so many factors.

I agree with @easyaf she probably has a better chance of living through surgery than she does living the way that she lives. Death is a certainty sooner than later without medical intervention and determination to lose weight no matter what.

 

[Guardsman42]

I suppose she likely does.

I honestly wonder what the fuck her mind processes when she reads that stuff. Like how does it warp reality to not make that scary?

Hasn't Tammy Slaton had surgeries within the last couple of years? She's older than Amber, she smokes, and she seems more immobile. If Tammy can make it, Amber probably can as well.

Nah, no need for smoothies, she already doesn't chew her food. She'll be fine gumming it like an old lady.

IIRC, she hasn't had any actual surgeries, though she required heavy sedation at least once. She's been hospitalized at least three times since Amy launched the first Slaton Sisters channel, twice for pneumonia that almost killed her. All three hospitalizations required a stay in a rehab facility once she was recovered from her illness and one of the hospitalizations required a medically induced coma, but she has yet to go under the actual knife.

Amber's main problem regarding surgery would be compliance. Tammy's more likely to do what she is told in a medical setting, then do what she wants back at home. AL would be hell on wheels in a hospital, sassing nurses, sneaking food, refusing to get out of bed, continual complaints, etc.

For anyone curious, on the bottom right you can see her current weight "loss" ticker on mfp, lol:

Woo, I think we've found Amberlynn Reid's hot button, ya'll. Her teeth of all things. She has Hypertonia. Not a big code word. Although, I'm confused how she went to the dentist "religiously" as a teen. Dental insurance ain't cheap, especially for a foster kid. None of what she said accounts for not seeing a dentist for TEN YEARS. DiSguSting. Who cares about a missing chicklet when your chompers are moving all over the place and covered in plaque?

Tinfoil: AL is tired all the time by only 3-4 hours of sleep because her breathing is disrupted by sleep apnoea. The new horrible cramps are a symptoms of a larger problem, like PCOS. Type II Diabetes are also a symptom of PCOS, and obesity is linked to both Type II and PCOS. Things sound kind snowball-y for Miss Reid but idfk I'm not a doctor.

 

[Twinkie]

Her dental coverage would've been provided by the state when she was a minor
