I have been fortunate enough to help 3, people so far reach their goal of immobility. 2 of my feedees decided to move into nursing homes after becoming immobile. And the other feedee I fed until the day he died. Let the questions begin.

Immobility for me just seems like a fantasy. How does one get the money and time to do this? How did the conversation start to go that far? Or was it always they just were too greedy to stop? What about their family and friends from before? How did the nursing homes deal with them once they moved in? Did they continue to gain weight? What were the weights of your immobile men or women? How did you handle health issues? How long was the one that passed stay with you?
Ya. I had so many questions.
Well, the conversation changed over time with my last feedee. We met at a coffee shop and became friends. He confided in me that he wanted to gain weight. So I helped him do what he wanted. I started casually feeding him and extra meal here and there. As he began to grow, he wanted more. We moved in together and I started feeding him. As he grew he became obsessed with getting as fat as possible. I helped him grow because I knew as determined as he was he would find a way. I knew I had the experience to care for him.
He eventually stopped working and went on SSDI and Medicaid and that helped with the adaptations we needed to keep him comfortable . He did not have family so that was never an issue.
I was able to care for him by hiring good staff through Medicaid. On overnights, I would care for him when I was off work. A hoyer lift to get him out of bed was a huge help.
The 2 that left to go to nursing homes stopped gaining by choice when they went to the nursing home. That was always thier choice at every step of the way. The one who stayed with me was with me was for 8 years
