Sorry to bring up this subject... but in reading those posts about
the heavy woman whose "skin was grafted into her sofa", how the heck
does that happen?? It's weird to imagine.

I'm not sure of the exact process. Richard Simmons has seen it happen
before with the morbidly obese.
He was interviewed about Gayle Grinds:

If I find out any more about how it happens I'll post it here as an
OT.

Take care,
