A WOMAN in US has spent two years stuck to a toilet before her boyfriend finally called for help.

The woman, who has not been named, initially refused medical help, but was convinced by emergency services and her boyfriend that she needed to leave the bathroom and go to hospital.

Sheriff Bryan Whipple told AP it appeared the 35-year-old woman’s skin had grown around the seat.

"We pried the toilet seat off (the toilet) with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Sheriff Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

"It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

The boyfriend told police he brought the woman food and water and asked her to come out of the bathroom everyday, AP reported.

And her reply would be, 'Maybe tomorrow'," Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

He eventually called police only to say there was “something wrong” with his girlfriend.

Police found the woman in the bathroom of the 36-year-old man’s flat, sitting on the toilet with her tracksuit pants around her thighs.

O’ I knew there was more to this story...

[lowbridge]

This has got to be some sort of urban legend.

If not, wouldnt she qualify for the Guinness World Records?

I’d like to know what she was reading. It must have been awfully interesting.

Didn't Mr. Whipple just die recently?

Sheriff Whipple told AP investigators planned to present their report to the county attorney who would determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman’s boyfriend.

Sure, she sits on the throne for two years and HE get’s sent down the tube, what a load of crap.

Poor guy probably hasn’t been able to poop for two years!!

This was why Dad always said that it was a bad idea to have a TV in every room of the house.

[The_Republican]

Took him only two years to get help.

By “staff writers”?

Sheriff Whipple?

US news from an Australian source?

Doesn’t quite pass the smell test.

Anything more than what he did and he could have violated her civil rights. Obviously she practicing her right to Free Speech by protesting the lack of proper indoor plumbing for Turd World Nations.

You’ll excuse me for not believing the truthfullness of this story. I want proof before I’ll believe that a woman sat on a toilet seat for two straight years.

Got to admit it does sound a bit rich but, hey, Al Gore almost became President. ANYTHING is possible...

It happened in Ness City, Kansas and is collaborated by a U.S. news source. Simply Google "Kansas", "Woman sat on toilet for two years" and you'll get a lot of other sources.

I’m laughing, but I feel a bit sick inside.
