First comment: "I am a male with a stage 6 pannus that weighs almost 100 pounds. I have lost 300 pounds from 670 down to about 380. We have rigged up a "pannus carriage" for me; kind of like a walker (which I was using anyway since my knees are severely damaged) with a height-adjustable platform. It helps with exercise (simply walking around, which was an incredible struggle before) since I am now no longer trying to lift and push the almost 100-pound belly with every step that hangs to almost my knees.
Surgery is scary, and I would have to lose another 100-150 pounds. Hopefully some of it would be from the omnipresent pannus, which I have to handle with care since it's prone to skin tears with any kind of dropping or falling events, along with incredible pain. I'm still dreaming of being able to have sex again, fit behind a car steering wheel again, and an end to bizarre toilet adventures, although the pannus platform helps with some of that too. It will be wonderful when it is not the major topic of all mobility movement in my extreme morbid obesity damaged life."
Pannus carriage?!? WTF??

Sigh, I remember when bizarre toilet adventures involved fucking in a stall and not struggling against a gunt to get your deuce on.

The price you pay for getting fat.

Well damn, if his deflated stomach alone weighs 100 pounds, how about the skin hanging in-between his knees, arms, his ex-tits?
He could very well BE within his BMI underneath that rug.

Jesus christ, that thing dropped two whole healthy people in weight and is still a disgusting fatass. Imagine all the excess skin it has hanging off it.
