So lets do the math
He is 800 pounds
Lost 20 in hospital and orders pizza as a reward

If the hospital allowed him to remain he wood find a way to continue to reward self and end up back at 800 Plus

Equation solution tells me he needs more help then some ordinary hospital

> When hospital officials in Providence found out about his delivery order, they gave him the boot, for violating the terms of his care.

Seems fair enough to me.

Quick check of weight loss using my 1979 TI-59 calculator, and if he's lost 20lbs in 80 days that equals .25lbs/day so for 800->550lbs would take 2.74 years or rounded up a tad bit to 2 years, 8 months.

If he's losing weight great but a near 3 year hospital stay?!

Now wood you please stay on topic.

Other thoughts about this 800 pound land whale. One wonders if he gained most of that weight on welfare

That calculation does not include the weight he wood gain by constant rewarding himself with fast food take out.

Eye wood hope dad's SUV not fit thru re: drive thru. In all seriousness though, I think the SUV is a better option if the dad just feeds him celery and grapefruit.

It was wrongful and i don't think syntax is right about this @610,580 (Syntax)

6 years is acceptable amount of time to lose that much weight and it might not even take that long (i think) because it will be easier to lose weight as he gains more mobility.

wow, how would you like to lose 50% of your body fat and still be considered morbidly obese. fuck. i mean i start dieting if my pants get tight. well, not really, i just make healthy eating choices for a while and go for longer walks at night with my dog.

i can't even imagine what 800lbs would feel like. i got up to 40 lbs over weight when i was in depression and i felt absolutely awful every day.
