The 35-year-old woman, Pam Babcock, locked herself in the bathroom and sat there for so long that her skin grew around the toilet seat.
Her boyfriend, Kory McFarren, 36, said he had brought her food and water every day and often asked to come out of the toilet. However the kansascity.com news portal reported that she would unfailingly reply, "Maybe tomorrow."
It is not known where McFarren relieved himself for the 24 months that the toilet was 'occupied.'
The man called police on February 27, saying that there was something "wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said. McFarren has not yet explained why it took him two years to call for help.
Police said they found Babcock sitting on the toilet and that her legs appeared to have atrophied. She initially refused medical help and was reported to have been reluctant to leave the bathroom.
"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."
Kansas authorities have not yet decided if charges are to be brought against McFarren.
