Just off the top of my head the things that would disqualify her (for a Mexican clinic bariatric surgery:
- Extreme BMI combined with most of the fat in the midsection due to how impossible all the visceral fat would make laparoscopic surgery. Plus if she did end up with a complication that required her to be transported to a regional ICU, she legit may not fit in their ambulances.
It's dat fatty liver (NALD) that would be Dsqualification Number One on a very long list of contraindications...because they have to lift up her entire liver out of the way to get to the stomach to do a gastric bypass.
During the procedure, lifting a liver like Chantal's (that's twice+ the size of a normal liver) would just cause it to burst apart like Canadian goose pâté.
From the abstract "The Effect of Bariatric Surgery on the Spectrum of Fatty Liver Disease" published in the Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Conclusion: Despite limited published data, the obese patients with [Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease - NFLD] decompensated cirrhosis remain to be poor candidates for bariatric surgery due to significant mortality rates.
Then again, if Chantal could beg-up enough Go
...she might be able to persuade an unlicensed Mexican gastric surgeon/deflesher to do it. The kind that runs a Tijuana back-alley "chop shop clínica abattoir"...the same kind where apotemnophiliacs go for illegal Body Integrity Dysphoria Disorder (BIID) limb amputations.
Plus, she could possibly also get that kind of OR-in-a-skid-row-hotel-room butcher to bundle in a diabetic peripheral neuropathic hoof amputation for free. After all, it would be so simple to perform on such a "skinny ankle."
With a "hoofectomy," she could guarantee coming home instantly 20 pounds lighter. Win-win.
