    Default "FrankenBarbies" & "Kens"

    A "FrankenBarbie" or "Ken" is an obese person who has undergone WLS and a full body cosmetic makeover and has been reconstructed into a "perfect ten."

    I don't understand the somewhat hurtful nicknames. I find it offensive, personally.

    I'm not so sure that after one has reconstructive surgery to try to eliminate some of the physical DESTRUCTION that being overweight wrought on ones body, makes one think they're a "perfect ten". I'm more prone to think that one is helping to heal the mind by healing the body. If surgery helps to remove old skin so one isn't reminded nor forced to remember or think about how much they wished their clothes fit better, then what is the harm?
