The world’s fattest man has decided to undergo surgery in order to reduce his weight.
The 500 kilogram Mexican man is going to have a gastric bypass to decrease his weight by half. Doctors say 32-year-old Juan Pedro suffers from a high blood pressure, diabetes, and chronic lung obstruction.
It has been almost six years that he has been confined to bed. In the first step, surgeons will remove over three-quarters of the patient's stomach.
Then his remaining stomach will be partially blocked, helping to give a feeling of fullness. His medical team believes he has a good chance of losing half of his weight by about six months after the first surgery.
