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

[I call shenanigans]

Ohhhhhhh. Yes. Now that makes me nauseous to think about. Leaking staple line from eating too much. Barf. That’s a really serious issue too once it happens.

As I said, it really doesn't happen these days with the modern technology that a person can over eat their way to a burst stapleline. I'm talking here about when the stapleline bursts months to years after surgery. It didn't tend to be dangerous as such because in those days the stapleline wasn't completely across the stomach. Surgeons would leave a small opening, in the line for the food to pass through into the lower part of the stomach. No part of the stomach was removed or detached as it is now. The procedure back then was called gastroplasty, and later vertical gastroplasty, then vertical banded gastroplasty.

Spoiler: stapleline dehiscence med sperg

Stapleline dehiscence during surgery is where life threatening leaks can happen. It's rare for first time bariatric patients, but much more common, (20x so) in revisional surgeries because of the difficulty in getting old scar tissue to seal together. This is why many surgeons are reluctant to perform revisions, and won't perform them on non-insurered patients. If a leak occurs during surgery, you're in open cheque book territory as hospital stays can run into many months with an unknown number of extra surgeries to try to correct. Surgeons generally will check for leaks before discharge, either by having the patient do a barium swallow test post surgery (that sucks with a new pouch and seems cruel) or it can be done during surgery by using a blue dye saline mix added to the pouch under pressure and examining the stapleline via the laprascopic camera to look for any leaks.

ETA: The ultralong appointment. I watched a short compilation and Amber talked about an "Intake Appointment". My guess is that these specific intake appointment days include a long group information session including talks from the surgeon, dietician, nurse, and on staff GP, their finance coordinator, with a Q&A afterwards. This session could be 3-4 hours and generally includes having baseline weight taken. They may then have individual appointments scheduled later in the day. She also talked about a long travel distance, so she's continuing with the out of state surgeon (a lie because she was asking about insurance covering surgery in Kentucky). She's talked about a celebrity surgeon, so that would tend to mean either Dr Smith at Kentucky Bariatric Institute, or Dr Proctor at Beltline Bariatics in Atlanta. The other "celebrity" bariatric surgeons are just too far away. I still believe she's angling for a TLC paid surgery.

Amberlynn the scam artist is mad people don’t like her low effort money grab content. We took the joy of her uploading half assed and old content like the apartment fire alarm going off 3 weeks prior away from her.

 

[toilet_rainbow]

Weight gain after bariatric surgery comes from liquid calories, slider foods (like chips, cakes, icecream etc that dissolve pretty much before even hitting the stomach) and grazing on small quantities of food all day long.

This will be Amber's (main) downfall if she actually got surgery. Over time the pouch expands slightly. That is not from the patient overeating but as part of the healing and body adjustment process. Even then, there are rules in place like not eating more than a cup of food at a time. The post WLS diet is mostly protein with low carb veggies (not keto since that is mainly fat, but still a relatively low carb diet). There are other recommendations to how the patient eats, but everything advised is intended to keep food in their smaller stomachs for longer. A new bariatric patient will not be hungry at first, but they usually begin to feel hunger within the first three to six months.

Going to how Amber would deal with slider foods specifically-

First she'll be one of those patients on MSHPL that cries to Dr Now that they have no hunger, what the fuck is wrong with her? Then she'll eat through a party sized bag of flaming hot Cheetos in one sitting no problem and realize she's figured out how to cheat. She will often force herself to eat massive amounts of food even when she's not hungry, too. She ate through those appetite suppressants, she ate through Ozempic. I don't think Amber would think much of making herself vomit or have a dumping episode after trying to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's in one go. She'll feel uncomfortable, but when is she not in some sort of pain? She eats because not only is her life boring, shitty, and painful, but food also gives her pleasure in her boring, shitty, painful life.

She's hopeless. She's gonna die fat. Only question is how far into the future. She's no longer the 300 pound twentysomething that could've bounced back easier if she actually lost the weight. Deathfats start going down hard in their early thirties. Amber is 32.

She's going to be one of those that has to have another WLS like three years after the first. I wonder if there's a maximum they would do on a person.

It’s actually not “easy” to get the second surgery….unless the first was the much maligned laproscopic adjustable band.

Spoiler: yet more WLS sperging….sorry folks

You have to have insurance coverage for a second (revisional) surgery due to the much increased risk of leaks in the staple line. A third would really only happen if you were in immediate danger eg you develop a perforated ulcer or some other life threatening problem that only further surgery can fix.

In Amber’s case (same as Tammy Slaton ), I would expect that the surgeon would plan to do a VSG initially. If she lost 200lb with that but progress had stopped, I would expect that he’d then perform another surgery to convert her to a duodenal switch (aka DS). Those two surgeries are often progressed that way because while the VSG is safer, the results generally arent as good as with other surgeries because there is no malabsorption aspect. Converting to a DS afterwards doesn‘t require messing about with the original staple line so isn’t deemed as high of a risk.

[the weeknd warrior]

It seems like she's been trying to drop 'subtle' (read: not subtle) hints about that for over a year now (while of course acting like she has no idea why her audience is mentioning ADHD). I suspect she's been easing into it to try and make it seem more organic to try and make it NOT look like she's doing it for a script. Isn't weight loss a possible side effect of the most common ADHD meds? Perhaps Amber's looking for a discount Ozempic?

The mechanism of action there involves triggering a permanent fight-or-flight response, that fidgeting when you dose caffeine where rest and digest is completely deprioritized. IIRC, she's already tried phentermine which is fairly potent for non-stimheads and she managed to eat past that, I think it was the three large slices of pizza she hates? The only thing missing from phentermine is the euphoric aspects of the other ADHD meds, which would probably turn her onto another addiction easy. Ozempic was it for her if she really wanted to lose weight, she's never not going to be a 600 lb toddler. @Xenomorph hit the nail on her fat shitbuns head, it's her diseased brain.

 

[Fat White Lump]

Typically for an ADHD diagnosis symptoms would have to have been present in childhood (iirc) , which considering Hamber herself has said she was diagnosed with all this crap, I don't see how that diagnosis would have been missed. ADHD is so much more than just "I can't pay attention and I'm forgetful lul" and people that try and make it out like it's this cute, quirky shit are annoying.

Spoiler: Why I'm still watching Amberlynn's videos

Ok can you see it? I think we need some ENHANCE

That burned pixel has been in all her videos lately. It's probably due to the editing program.
For 28 minutes straight I watched that pixel living so many adventures, being swallowed by her folds and reappearing on her shirt, being shooshed by her hand and flying through the air, at some point, it might have been eaten by the creature that was droning on about some hayders. I don't even know what she said in this video as I watched the pixel so intensively ruptured by its beauty.
In the end, I thought that it lived a very beautiful and fulfilling life, unlike ALR.

I don't think I'll ever get over the dark sunken panda eyes. They make her look like death. Is this a deathfat thing? I've never seen a person of a normal BMI look like a racoon.

I think after we are over this charade of "weight loss surgery" she's going to commit to gaining. We know her money is intrinsic to her weight gain and once this initial burst of viewers goes we are back to normal. She is only getting these views because Chantal is boring and once she is back in Canada it is all eyes on her. I used to think there was a difference between the two but I am more certain that there is not and their audiences are one and the same.

She looks like a mini Life by Jen at this point and we know the bitch is practically bedbound. I do believe she is lying about her weight too. This is Amber she is far more intentional with her lies and she again wants to cover u being very fat. No, she is not 600 elbees but probably 550lbs.

Do you guys think she is using filters? I keep getting that feeling she is but because we are so used to how drastic Chantal is with hers we are not used to subtle ones.

 

[Insulin reid]

I hate how this bitch keeps calling occasionally seeing a therapist "Outpatient". You're just seeing a doctor (but we know she's not). Going to the doctor does not mean "outpatient". Also, therapy where they dont commit your ass to a psych ward is not "Outpatient". You are "Outpatient" when you go the hospital, they treat you, and you dont have to spend the night. An colonoscopy is an outpatient procedure. We know this bitch isnt going to actual addiction rehab.

Oh great amber learned a new word now everything is that word.

No addiction specialist would allow her to persue "Outpatient" at this stage in the game. Maybe thats why she keeps "quitting". They tell her she has to do inpatient so she quits.

Shes always quit therapists after the "cryeen and telleen her life story and getting the sympathetic oh poor baby im sorry that happened to you" phase.
Even the last big push for wls she just said after completly filling out the questionnaire she was told she needed a lot of therapy and she would go at her own pace and shes schooo fucked up and has schooo much trauma. Its been what- a year or two now since that happened and shes stuck at the "lookeen for another therapist" square one again so she can just start her cycle all over again. All amber wants out of therapy is a one person audience so she can do her little song and dance which is just basically amber reciting alr fanfiction and her origin story and getting the concerned look and an "im sorry that happened to you" from someone she pays to put on a pedistal like an actual authority figure (stand in for a parent).

She loves herself too much to do that. Shes a "good girl who happens to be big" she looks at fat fetishes and things like that as a bad thing and gross and she doesnt like it. Her whole persona is just a quirky hot plain but pretty super clutzy and talented superstar underdog who just so happens to have things beyond her control making her fat and its not her fault. Her comitting to gaining weight even for money would throw her whole sense of who she is out the window.

 

[SkunkyMonkey420]

Fuck man, I need to spend some of today in silent atonement for the part I play in making the internet such a hateful place for deathfats who are partaking in the annual (or, semi-annual) deep cleaning of their kitchen cupboards.

Did I do that right? Did I fix the internet yet? Is the retard happy? Jade, can you tell her on my behalf? Hey, and you, you, YOU reading this right now, fix yourself. FIX YOURSELF, so that Big Al feels the support she needs to flap a wet cloth against some MDF plywood in her luxury apartment before dialin' up DoorDash for the morning.

She's talked about a celebrity surgeon, so that would tend to mean either Dr Smith at Kentucky Bariatric Institute, or Dr Proctor at Beltline Bariatics in Atlanta. The other "celebrity" bariatric surgeons are just too far away.

I dismiss the use of Dr. Procter in Atlanta. It is at least a 5 to 6 hours drive from Lexington, and it does not make sense logistically. If it is true, she would need to drive to Atlanta the day before, go to her meeting or consultation, then drive back if the consultation is in the morning, or stay overnight and then drive back the following day. Amber does not drive, so Jade does it. However, I am not sure if Jade could take 2-3 days off on a regular basis. If there is an issue with the surgery, she would be too far. It is probably a reason why Dr. Nowzaradan wants his patient to move to Houston. She is most likely to go to Dr. Smith.

I still believe she's angling for a TLC paid surgery.

I think this train has passed. Bariatric surgery patients' TV shows were all the rage a few years ago, but now, not so much. There are still 1000-pound friends or 1000-pound sisters, but the genre is in decline. Only MSHPL is doing it, but Amber is not special. Amber is very much like Gina, and it's been done already. Besides any show would require her to be off social media.

In Amber’s case (same as Tammy Slaton ), I would expect that the surgeon would plan to do a VSG initially. If she lost 200lb with that but progress had stopped, I would expect that he’d then perform another surgery to convert her to a duodenal switch (aka DS).

In your opinion, would the surgeon insert a gastric balloon instead of going directly to a gastric sleeve? It seems that Amber is still a high-risk patient due to her size and any reduction would help in reducing that risk.

 

[toilet_rainbow]

Gastric balloons can only be in the body for around six months or so. They also have a very high failure rate like lap band. Most Bariatric surgeons refuse to use them nowadays. They want the patients to lose pre op weight with diet and exercise, even if it’s via a program like Weight Watchers. If Amber actually stuck with WW or one of the thirty plans she wastes money on, it’d show an effort in the clinic’s perspective.

Balloons have all sorts of complications don’t they? Like perforation as a risk in the gastric and esophageal area.

What I really want to know is what Amber’s blood work is like. Cholesterol, triglycerides, a1c, alt/ast/other liver markers, all that stuff. Don’t know how she can keep claiming she’s fat and fine when all she does is whine about how her size hurts her. We can all see she has acanthosis nigricans.

Her having gallbladder issues but being too fat for surgery isnt a wake up call? So what will be? Cancer wasn’t. And she sure can’t get follow ups for that because she’s too fat to fit in a machine

Yeah, gastric balloons have their own severe health risks.

Scenario: Amber decides to clickbait that she bought a glucose monitor for the lulz. It’s a very nice talking model because she needs “better” than a basic reader. She makes a big deal about sticking herself and then is confused when it reveals her resting sugar is in the high 300s. “Bayyyybe, is that good?!” She squeals. She then claims the machine is broken after Jade tells her that that reading is very bad. She doesn’t have the beetus like other big gorls!

In all seriousness, though, same. I know her blood is syrup and all the levels are high, but seeing the actual numbers over time (or during 2020 especially) would be fascinating.

We have to assume amber doesn't know what bloodwork looks like or has an understanding of what anything means. The only way she would show us would be if she just assumed everything was fine and thought she was "flexing on the haydurs" by showing us everything is "fine". I assume when she "got her bloodwork back and everything was fine" amber was really given her results and told in little dumb baby words amber could understand that things are not ok so she knows thats off the table as physical proof she can use to show things are ok and its ok shes this size.

Don’t know how she can keep claiming she’s fat and fine when all she does is whine about how her size hurts her. We can all see she has acanthosis nigricans.

Cognitive dissonance and narcissism mostly.
Remember shes a dainty gorl. Shes a ya novel protag. Of course she gets to be fine and still complain about pain. Shes so strong and weak at the same time, and is so gracious to be so honest with her audience. Shes so inspireen.

Also unless your a doctor whos in the home with her and knows her personally because you have spent a bunch of time with amber you dont really know if amber has beetus knuckles. I bet if a doctor came to her house to really check she wouldnt open the fucking door. She would rather tear her face off and 360 moonwalk into the ocean before she let someone who could confirm her dirty little secrets anywhere near her.

Bitch has the beetus and wont admit it because that would mean she did something negative to herself and is at fault. Which never happens to our gorl.

Her having gallbladder issues but being too far for surgery isnt a wake up call? So what will be? Cancer wasn’t. And she sure can’t get follow ups for that because she’s too fat to fit in a machine

Amber is always reaching for things to validate her size and her lifestyle. She doesnt really truly need to change because she doeant have anything physically telling that theres a problem like a broken leg or a bump on her head that can be monitored. The gallbladder, cancer, and being too fat to fit in machines is not a real physical thing (she can just not go in and film her fat ass not fitting in a machine) that will show in her videos. It keeps up her delusion that everything is ok and can continue to be in this stage of knowing theres a problem but needs more time to "figure out" how to deal with it.
