Manuel Uribe
Manuel "Meme" Uribe Garza (11 June 1965 – 26 May 2014) was a Mexican man who suffered from morbid obesity to one of the greatest extents known in recorded history. After reaching a peak weight of around and having been unable to leave his bed since 2002,〔 he lost approximately —nearly half of his body weight—with the help of doctors and nutritionists by February 2008. However, he died in his hometown on 26 May 2014 weighing .
Uribe drew worldwide attention in January 2006, when he made an emotional plea on a Mexican television network that prompted both private and public assistance. He was also featured on ''The World's Heaviest Man'', a 2007 television documentary about his bedridden life and attempts to overcome his obesity, and in ''The World's Heaviest Man Gets Married'', a similar documentary that was broadcast in 2009 by the Discovery Channel.
==Personal life==
Uribe lived in San Nicolás de los Garza, a suburb of Monterrey, Nuevo León, and according to the Associated Press he weighed during his adolescence. "I used to eat normal, just like all Mexicans do … beans, rice, flour tortilla, corn tortilla, french fries, hamburgers, subs and pizzas, whatever regular people eat". He married his first wife in 1987 and the couple immigrated illegally to the United States for employment opportunities. They settled in Dallas, Texas, where he was employed as a technician fixing typewriters, electronic calculators and computers.〔 The nature of his job required Uribe to spend his day sitting at a desk. Reflecting on those years, Uribe commented: "Life in the United States is like that, you just go from your desk to your car. I used to drive my car to and from work, so I didn't get any exercise".〔
His sedentary lifestyle may have contributed to the onset of his morbid obesity since it appears to be, according to a scientific study published in ''Clinical Cardiology'', one of the major risk factors along with genetics and a poor diet.〔 After five years living in a new country, his obesity sharply increased〔 and took a toll in his emotional stability: "(wife ) asked me for a divorce () I was very depressed () Everything ended on account of my obesity, because I spent a lot of money trying to see doctors, going on diets, and I just gained more weight."〔
