Poop transplant from fat donor makes you fat.With the occurrence of weight gain after FMT in this case, it is now our policy to use nonobese donors for FMT. The untoward consequences of using nonideal FMT donors are important, because patients may prefer to use a family member rather than an unrelated or unknown stool donor due to the perception that these sources are safer.
However, studies have shown that FMT using a frozen inoculum from unrelated donors is effective in treating relapsing CDI. In addition, most "professional" stool donors for FMT are selected on the basis of good health, including a normal BMI. This case serves as a note of caution when considering the use of nonideal donors for FMT, and we recommend selecting non-overweight donors for FMT.
Important takeaway: professional poop donors are a thing that exists.

This is the real reason you keep suggesting this to me, isn't it.

They took poop microbes from ID twins discordant for obesity, and the microbes from the obese twin made mice fat. Then they could pass that from mouse to mouse by caging them together, because conveniently mice are coprophagic.

"Conveniently Coprophagic" is the name of my all-eukelele GG Allin cover band.
The audience for that joke is very small, but we really laughed.

Does a fat person who gets an FMT from a skinny person get thinner? I smell an enormous new market for the procedure.
Wasn't tested on Jerry Springer?
My understanding is that the answer is "yes, for some causes of obesity. We are still doing clinical trials."
Oh good. I'm hoping this means I can start extracting "thin money" from smaller people in exchange for a promise to wash my hands after I use the bathroom and before I shake hands or make their food.
