CrazyInAlabama February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 They told Amanda they have to tilt the table with her head lower than her feet, and until she's a lot smaller, it would be fatal to do the surgery. Personally I think there must be a laparoscopic procedure they could do instead, and maybe take some of that lower stomach skin off at the same time. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89513-family-by-the-ton-general-discussion/page/18/#findComment-5039884

CrazyInAlabama February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 (edited) Sometimes families have benches in their part of the cemetery, if there are a bunch of plots for their family. They are just decorative, and for visitors to sit, and visit with the departed. Many cemeteries don't have them, but they have a lot around here at some of the cemeteries. It does look odd if you're not used to seeing them. Other cemeteries have no monuments, except flat headstones, usually bronze or some other metal, that allows for lawn mowing.

CrazyInAlabama February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 I love how happy, and healthy Amy is, except for that wig, or whatever it is (might be extensions). I liked Amy's hair before. I'm mean, Ed doesn't look much smaller to me. It looks like Francie (Ed's wife) lost some weight too, and she looks fantastic. Amanda's turn! I think she wears the long dresses because her legs are misshapen, and I'm not sure a lot of weight loss will really help. Amanda is doing so well. Casey, I don't care if he loses all of the weight, he'll still be a jerk, and sponging off of his parents.

CrazyInAlabama February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 Casey will never keep the weight off, and lose a lot more, because then his parents will try to bounce his fanny out on his own. All of those years sitting in his room could have gone to multiple college degrees online, right from the comfort of his mattress. Someday when his parents are gone, and whatever he inherits is gone, then he will be totally confused about what to do. Amanda and Amy give me hope, and I hope both keep on the right path, and come out healthy, and happy in the end. Ed is still a jerk that only cares about himself, and I really don't see him or Casey really making an effort long term. I wonder if Ed's wife saw the footage about him making fun of her before it aired? I bet that was an eye opener. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89513-family-by-the-ton-general-discussion/page/18/#findComment-5040501
