World's Fattest Man is Still Very Fat

Posted by Emily Farris

 

Manuel Uribe from Monterrey, Mexico, is/was the World's Fattest Man. He apparently lost half of his body weight on a low-carb diet, but he is still very, very, very fat. And we're really, really, really confused by the two large masses protruding from between his legs. But don't click through if you're easily grossed out. Seriously. 

No, seriously. 

Okay, but we warned you. 

We know there are some medical professionals who read this blog who can explain to us that those masses are merely fat from his thighs, right? Right? Please say, "right."

I think that is some way nasty lymphedema. (en.wikipedia.org/.../Lymphedema)

Yup, it's lymphedema.  He gets regular massages to encourage the fluid to return to his circulation.

That measuring tape in the first photo is using centimeters, by the way.  75 centimeters is less than 30 inches, not that fat.  (Sorry, sometimes I'm too detail-oriented for my own good.)
