masterblaster72 0 #1 September 8, 2006 from here. Quote"We have to create a tailor-made operating theatre and we will also need extra-large tools and surgical retractors." DeBernardinis has already operated on around 1,000 overweight people, according to Ansa. Since March, "the situation has not improved; it has even got worse judging by the latest photos he sent me," the professor said. "He is receiving dietary treatment that is proving no use whatsoever," he added: "in cases such as this one, there is no alternative but to operate." In January Uribe Garza told the Mexican television channel Televisa that until he was 22 - when he weighed 130 kilos - he lived a normal life and worked in the United States. "Then I kept getting fatter, and I very quickly became obese," he said. Photos like this Just an FYI, in case you haven't heard. Perhaps I'll bump this thread in a year or so if there are any 'after' pictures of the big fella available. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
micro 0 #2 September 8, 2006 So let's calculate his wingloading under a Velo 97, shall we? At roughly 1210 pounds, we're looking at almost 12.5:1. He could do it, don't you think? No? Let's try a nice big tandem canopy then... say, a 425 ft. jobber... hmmm... pretty docile at almost 2.9:1. I say he could land that puppy right in the peas every time! All kidding aside, hope surgery is a success I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #4 September 8, 2006 It really is kill or cure. Theres not many Surgeons would touch him I think. The anaesthetic risk alone is huge and his chances of dyeing on the table considerable. I wonder how long he'd live without the surgery though. Grim.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
