I saw this last night on FOX News after "Idol." I cant even begin to imagine what physical and emotional agony this guy must be in. The surgeons have offered to perform the surgery for free. Any kind of surgery is risky (especially with that much added weight). I am sure that this man knows the risks. Weightwise he is a ticking time bomb. But doctors are baffled because his blood sugar etc is normal. No clue how this is possible. He is only 40 years old; but the added weight and lack of physical activity must have him at over 80. Maybe a story like this will save somebody else's life; as well as this young man's. Too bad the majority of the publicity this man receives will be from cruel jokes from late night tv shows.
Did anyone happen to tune into Law & Order SVU on Tuesday night? Teen Obesity was a major part of the plotline. Makes me wonder how many violent attacks occur each year due to obesity intolerance? In my book; 1 instance is 1 too many.
