Remember Manuel Uribe? The Worlds Heaviest Person?

Well, he is in the news again. This time from a Spanish Newspaper. They are reporting that his operation will be performed in Spain. What? The last news we read about him came from ABC News, and they reported his operation will take place in Italy. This is confusing. Nevertheless, he also has his own website www.manueluribe.com, but it is hard to login. Let’s wait an see where and when he will undergo Gastric Bypass. I will keep you informed!  By the way... to read more about him, click here.

I saw you on TV recently and was very impressed with your determination to lose weight and re-gain your health. I am trying to lose weight and get healthier as well. I wish you luck. G-d be with you, Cheryl from New York

If we could encourage everyone in Mexico to gain weight like Manuel Uribe, the illegal immigration problem would be permanently solved.

Querido Manuel:
Hace mucho tiempo que no se de ti, me gustaria saber de tus progresos, inspiraste a muchas personas, para tratar de cambiar nuestras vidas con el valor que tuviste de salir del anonimato, para evidenciar al mundo cuan grande es el problema que tenemos con la obesidad.
Yo descubri gracias a Dios que tengo una enfermedad que se llama comer compúlsivamente, y por algunos años logre mantenerme abstinente y reducir 87 kilos de mi peso; pesaba 160kilos antes de esto. Pero de repente me deje llevar de nuevo por la enfermedad y recupere 80 kilos de nuevo. Pero el poder de Dios me alcanzo y me hizo regresar a mis inicios y a volver a buscar las herramientas que me enseño para construir una mejor forma de vivir. y regresarle a mi vida la calidad que se merece y que Dios quiere que tenga. Cuando supe de tu caso me diste la esperanza de que no estoy sola en este camino, que habemos muchos y desafortunadamente hay muchos que todavía no conocen lo violento de esta enfermedad, y creen que es cosa facil desahacerse de los kilos que les sobran. Tui como yo sabemos lo dificil que es la lucha, pero yo como creo que tu tambien hemos encontrado que el unico que nos puede ayudar es Dios, a traves de sus los instrumentos que a cada uno nos ha enviado para cambiar nuestras vidas. Yo sigo un plan de comida y asisto a un grupo de autoayuda, tus instrumentos son los doctores y tratamientos que sigues, pero se que todos ellos son enviados por Dios para que nos recuperemos.
Te Admiro mucho y me gustaria saber mas de ti
Gracias Doris

Regarding above comment:What a nasty, nasty thing to say. Shame on you.
Manuel, God Bless you and your fight for health and happiness. My prayers are with you and I am proud of you.

Bernardinis, whose biggest patient to date weighed 770 pounds, told Reuters he plans a bypass procedure that will allow Uribe to pass food more quickly without so many calories being absorbed.Bernardinis planned to perform the surgery in Modena as early as this month, although a Mexican health official doubted Uribe would be ready for a trip to Europe that quickly.
