Correct title "woman intentionally refuses treatment because she wants them there begging her to get treatment". It isn't a caretaker manipulating her. She is the one not doing it.

[@Kat-lt6qd]

I think they got confused. The carer who was caring for her was the one trying to stop her from getting treatment. She wanted to remain caring for her where she was but she was enabling her. This friend was desperate to get her away from that carer to get her real help. The friend referenced the bad carer near the end of the clip, saying she kept sending text messages to the obese one during the journey trying to get her to come back to her.

[@_smurfitude]

@@kanyebreast6072 I do understand your feelings and maybe my answer didn't convey it. After I commented, I found the entire video, and watched it just because of this clip we watched. There's many just like her. They're dead too. In many of them, the pain gets them. Of course she has her karma and that's what will kill her. I'm not nearly as big as her, but I'm ill. I'm also twice her age too. I value my friends and true friends mean more to me than anything here on this planet. She didn't know how to even treat herself right, so how could she treat her friend right? Below this I commented but it was about how aides had took my health and cashed in on it. Sandy's one of the good ones. She don't come around often but the predators are dime a dozen. This is fact and don't feel sorry about how you feel. I just looked at it all and my eyes didn't see it like you did but it don't make what you said wrong either. Sandy saw what I saw too. She's a mental train wreck and it will kill her. She messed up BAD! All the way around plus to be honest, it's too late. After she went to Houston, she ended up going home. Sandy can now put her mind at ease. She got Cindy to Dr. Now and if Cindy dies, Sandy shouldn't have any regrets. Everything said below your initial comment's true and what you said is what's killing her. Every observation and reaction is why she's like that in the first place. In all reality, she waited too long. Bad part of it all: She went BACK TO HOUSTON. And she don't know how to communicate either. She had other doctors! She should have been in pain management way before she met Sandy! And she eats too much. It is what it is, I know this. That's why we have professionals. Dr. Now focuses on his specialty. He's not pain management. And yes, it hurts like hell, my friend to carry that weight for some people. I can now do more thanks to my doctors and because of just ONE caregiver. Just one, like Sandy. But, she couldn't be with me. I accept that. And, I don't weigh nowhere as much as Cindy. I'll get up. Cindy just lays on her back, and she's been like that too long.

I was a group home manager for 14 years and people like Cindy are why caregiver burnout is so prevalent and damaging. Sandy needs therapy to help her understand that there are self destructive, narcissistic people like Cindy who enjoy their horrible situation and will refuse to do the work to change even while they expect to be waited on hand and foot because of their issues. Sandy will end up sick if she doesn’t stop taking responsibility for Cindy’s life. P.S. 50% of caregivers are toxic and become caregivers so they can CONTROL messed up vulnerable people. If you have family in a care setting visit them regularly so their staff knows they’re being watched. Good luck Sandy !! Got to a CoDa meeting. Cindy get over yourself.

[@_smurfitude]

I do agree: The good caregivers should be loved and supported, but the trash who 'claim' to be caregivers should be held accountable for many of the evil deeds they pull behind closed doors in a patient's home. Neglect or any kind of abuse against a vulnerable individual should be promptly looked at, and proper legal action should be taken. There's such a thing as the 'Americans with Disabilities Act,' and other laws that can be enforced but sadly many are getting off SCOTT FREE. If a patient or a family fires such people, the agency only place such trash somewhere else until too many complaints but by then many patients are left traumatized.

@@Cris-ky1mq Anything that triggers extra feel good hormones in the brain can become an addiction. Its why gambling addicts will keep going back chasing that win even though no drugs are involved. A lot of obese people start over eating in childhood because it makes them feel good, many come from traumatic backgrounds.

Isnt it weird what extreme obesity does to the body. Notice how many have thinning hair. This is bcuz the fat that deposits around the groin and stomach ruins the endocrine system and causes certain hormones to be out of whack. Its deep and complex and all kinds of health problems arise.

Years ago at a hospital I worked we had a nearly 700 lb female. She was a there often when her family got tired of her crap. When she would soil herself it took 6 to 8 people to clean her. On morning I had enough. It was her bath time I suggested she wash her face, arms and breasts. She played victim and should could not do it. I responed, well I have watched you use a laptop and feed yourself so we know your arms work. The only way you are getting cleaned from breast up is yourself. She tossed items away from her while calling me vile things. Stop helping them to be victims. End of the day, it became a rule, any area of her body within arm reach she had to wash. Her family would bring a family size of fried chicken and sides, cause she would cry she was starving. What these folks eat a day could feed a small village in a 3rd world country. So here is an option stoping raming all the food on earth in your mouth. Put a 13x9 cake on the stretcher and her big self will be there. Earth has limited resources, let us find the best way to feed folks. Hint her big Ass is not high on the list. Reallly you are mad it had to happen this way????? Stop eating like a gready cow. The surgery you are going for is an abdominal surgery for a mental defect. Here is your clue, when it takes 4 people to move you that is an issue...

I noticed this with Tammy Slaton as well so I’m wondering…is hair loss/ hair thinning a thing that can be caused by extreme morbid obesity?

[@kinhahazevedoh]

Yes, once you reach a certain weight, your body starts to have inflammatory reactions to the fat. The deposits of fat near stomach and lower abdomen affect the endocrine system.

[@jmgirard7]

And I imagine with the level of junk food nutrients are lacking as well.
