>>82025 That is actually a really interesting question, namely, why with women generally getting much fatter today than in the 80s and 90s, and with social media / the internet making it so much easier to identify women like that (not to mention their ability to monetize their size, which did not exist back then) do we not see more of these extreme (ca. 1000 lb) women. Maybe WLS has gotten so much easier since then? Or maybe they exaggerated their weights? I mean, from the few pics we have, I wouldn't say they look 25% bigger than the few 800-lb fatties we get to see. Back in the day, people were less likely to challenge those super-high numbers, and I am not sure how much proof we have that Carol and Rosalie ACTUALLY weighed as much as they claimed.

Weight isn't everything. Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty was 4'7½" and the fattest person ever recorded by FAR.

>>82029 Carol's weight was not exaggerated unless someone is impersonating her daughter in Wikipedia discussions, as it's stated to have been used as evidence in a lawsuit by a nurse who was crushed trying to move her greedy blubber.

>>82029 I think in both Carol and Rosalie's cases the pictures we have of them are not of them at their peak weight. See how Rosalie is standing up in that picture for instance. >>82034 Good point yeah, though I'm not sure how much it weakens my argument here.

>>82041 There is this one picture of Carol where she looks significantly bigger but it's too low-quality to make out much.

>>82025 It's probably because there isn't as much interest in profiling super obese people anymore. Guinness World Records discontinued their fattest people categories and I think there's less interest in fatsploitation from media companies like TLC. They still exist, there was Marya Rosales, who only became famous because she was part of a court case. If you read places like nursing subreddits, you occasionally find stories about 900 or 1000 patients. >>82043 That's not Carol, that's a male.

>>82045 Certainly correct, the EMT forums have plenty of super-obese horror stories. They're still out there (maybe more than ever) despite the lack of media attention. Occasionally you'll see stories of people being cut out of buildings, healthcare providers/crematoriums spending vast sums on super-heavy-duty bariatric equipment etc. and other secondary order effects of top-notch obesity.
