I am kind of suspicious. He said at 950 pounds he could not get on an airplane or roller coaster. I would assume that at that weight he would be house bound and unable to walk more than a few steps or do anything at all under such tremendous weight just like people who weighed a couple hundred pounds less than he could not.0 -

My thought as well.0 -

I also find this suspicious, due to the line saying "hundreds of pounds of loose skin removed" That seems very vauge, and like ALOT.0 -

The worlds largest athlete (sumo wrestler) weighs over 700lbs (used to weigh over 800) & is still walking around in short distances, but of course he's a trained professional. I saw a video of him walking & he's sweating to get to the mailbox.
I don't see a 900+lb average joe being able to go to the amusement park or walking through LAX.0 -

Just googled this one... here's another story that has wayyyy more detail. It claims that he was in a nursing home a few years due to being unable to take care of himself, which seems a little more legit?

Really interesting article! Makes more sense now0 -
That is amazing. But really, I don't understand how someone gets to 950 lbs in the first place!!!0

He probably couldnt move but you dont need to do exercise to lose, so to be honest, I dont know what to make of it.0

Wow, indeed! A new lease on life! Good for him!0 -

If you are a 6' tall male, age 40 that weighs 950 lbs, your TDEE is 8,275 calories. That's a lot of food!0

Wow. I liked how he stressed that it was difficult. VERY difficult, even with the surgery. And that he has to be vigilant. Also that he points out what a crock 'Biggest Loser' is. :laugh:0

When I watch My 600 pound life, and other shows like it, they show a lot of the very obese get lymphodema which is a big tumor that grows between you legs. When they surgically remove it, they lose 40-50 pounds. I think the water in their legs gets tuck, and its pretty bad. they cant even walk. I dont know what it would be like to be that weight.0
