This is amusing????

I guess I have a different sense of humor

 
TheChaz 2007-01-28 06:23:02 PM  
Holy Shiat!

Click the thumbnail under her picture to see the cyst.

Damn.

I vote for a change to the scary tag if this goes green.

Surprise surprise! She's fat.

Funny due to the fact the cow's name is "Taquela Hilton"

Cheeky!

is there a tag for pathetic??

NoleFarker 2007-01-28 08:07:16 PM  
Gystric?

 
HalfAsleep [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 08:07:44 PM  
I was just about to go eat dinner. Not so much now. The description of that growth has made me completely nauseous. Not even getting anywhere near the link for the picture.

 
PawisBetlog 2007-01-28 08:07:51 PM  
Yeah saying this doc was able to see past the diagnosis that she just couldn't stop eating is a bit of a stretch. 563 pounds minus 100 pound cyst equals 400 pound fatty WHO CAN'T STOP EATING.

 
Haruko_Haruhara [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 08:09:13 PM  
This. Is. Not. Funny.

Something that big just lying around inside of you for years? Jeebus. Have you guys seen that syndrome with mummified, rock-hard, dead babies that can be in a person all their lives and when they're removed, it looks like a boulder came out? Straight effed-up, that's what I think.

skinink 2007-01-28 08:09:18 PM  
That looks like a pod from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

 
whyerhead [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 08:09:46 PM  
I think she's kinda cute.. I'd hit it.. Only if i was on top though..

 
presidentbeef 2007-01-28 08:10:28 PM  
Oh my goodness. That thing is gigantic. I can't imagine having something that huge inside and not even knowing it!

Shame on her previous doctors. Geez!

 
Dwreck 2007-01-28 08:10:43 PM  
Geez! That thing is the size of my dog.

 
Oldiron_79 2007-01-28 08:11:17 PM  
93 lb cyst would make you fat even if you otherwise wasn't....

 
Welcome to the Machine [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 08:12:32 PM  
You keep using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means.

 
ThisIsGina 2007-01-28 08:12:50 PM  
Her legs were "weeping." Mine would, too, if I had to drag that much flesh around with every step.

Ew.h

 
Rootus 2007-01-28 08:14:00 PM  
Sad would be a more appropriate tag. Sad that with the amazing cost of health care in the United States, our doctors are still too incompetent to diagnose a cyst until it reachs 93 pounds. Yikes.

 
0Icky0 2007-01-28 08:14:04 PM  
Oh gross.
The only thing comparable I can think of is when George Bush is removed from office.

 
savage819 2007-01-28 08:14:37 PM  
I think possibly the most disturbing part of this story is that it's on the front page of the paper AND she let them take her photo.

batshiat crazy.

Normally I would agree, but can you imagine having a 90 pound cyst inside you? I would think that might screw with your head a little bit and make you feel a little less than physically active.

 
Virulency 2007-01-28 08:17:23 PM  
hm.... someones messing up the diagnosis...

 
I_Hate_Iowa 2007-01-28 08:18:26 PM  
Well that's one way to lose weight.

/can't believe I'm the first to say that

We have a winner!

Agree...The "bad" doctors were correct about everything but 100lb cyst. Besdies, when your talking about 100lbs of a 500lb women...is it really so unbelievable that she was misdiagnosed?

 
Colostomy [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 08:21:02 PM  
actually this should get a cool tag, because she is alive and healthy. Yes the whole situation was scary, but thats over.

/The person who used amusing has a different sense of tumor I guess.

 
Katius 2007-01-28 08:22:55 PM  
I would think that it would be considered "Spiffy" actually :)

 
WaSkazio 2007-01-28 08:23:19 PM  
well so what, did the cyst start forming when she was 15 when she was starting to gain weight?

hey fatty, wanna ham?


/fat meself...

 
peacefulwarrior 2007-01-28 08:23:31 PM  
I am totally serious about this: the other day I had a psychic flash that there would very soon be an article on Fark about this woman who had a huge cyst like this.

 
rritterson 2007-01-28 08:23:58 PM  
12 Gallons of Fluid?

Not amusing, img.fark.com

0Icky0 FTW.

 
Rodeodoc 2007-01-28 08:25:07 PM  
This babe weighed 480 lbs. Pulling out a 100 lb cyst, while an amazing feat of medicine, won't do much for those stumps she's walking on. Maybe the cyst led to a hormonal imbalance, too. Here's hoping she's soon as skinny as her cousin, Paris Hilton.

 
goofiw 2007-01-28 08:26:33 PM  
really not funny, my mom found out she had cancer (which she died from) in a similar way.

You are an idiot if you think that if she never had the cyst, she would simply weigh what she weighs now after its removal. That cyst was farking with her digestion and ability to be active. It was likely directly responsible for the rest of her excess weight.

It sounds like she might have better control of her eating than you do. Im going to assume you are fat, ok?

 
marinewife50 2007-01-28 08:27:03 PM  
Shame on those other doctors. I wish this lady all the best and know she will keep up her exercise and healthy eating.
Pawisbetlog is typical of snobs and males who can't see medical problems for the underlying reasons of obesity.

 
studebaker hoch 2007-01-28 08:30:02 PM  
If the cyst weighs more than you, YOU get removed.

 
filler13 2007-01-28 08:30:34 PM  
I'd have gone with another tag myself. Having a 93 lb water ballon made of flesh inside you, causing all of your internal organs to shift and flatten, making it hard for you to even breathe, let alone move around, drive, or work, isn't all that funny.

I imagine this woman was in a significant amount of pain before. Stuff a soggy, heavy beanbag into your torso and see how it feels. It is pretty amazing they were able to get it out intact, and I hope she gets the other weight off now that, you know, her lungs can expand and what not.

 
dryadic 2007-01-28 08:30:48 PM  
... my ovaries are crying.

 
phillydrifter 2007-01-28 08:33:16 PM  
That's disgusting, and they should remove them both because she doesn't need to be having any children, sorry.

 
All Apologies 2007-01-28 08:34:08 PM  
I had nothing to do with this.

 
wheres my parade 2007-01-28 08:34:21 PM  
i literally screamed "OMFG" when i saw that pic.

thanks for that.

Wut?

I completely fail to see how you arrived at the conclusion this woman shouldn't procreate.

Tag should be SCARY because apparently a majority of doctors are somehow able to miss a 93-pound cyst. WTF?!?!? This shows a complete lack of intellectual curiosity and total disrespect for the patient. Sickening. She should sue the fark out of them.

And it seems probable that her various other health problems were due to or at least exacerbated by the cyst. I hope she can make a full recovery now.

I read the story and felt bad for her, but then i accidentally scrolled back up and saw her pic again.

/damn those high standards

In Russia, cyst removes you!

Would've been really cool if it were a Dermoid Cyst.
