Surgery to halve 590kg man鈥檚 weight
Print Edition
A MEXICAN man believed to be the world’s most obese plans to undergo gastric bypass in the new year and reduce his 590 kilograms by half.
The man known as Juan Pedro has diabetes, high blood pressure and chronic lung obstruction, and needs to cut his weight dramatically to reduce his health risks, his doctor, Jose Castaneda Cruz, said.
He said the man, who does not give his family name to media, would undergo a couple procedures along the way.
“It’s surgery that is going to be done in two parts ... six months apart. That is because of the high risk of complications he faces,” Castaneda said.
Surgeons will first remove more than three-quarters of his stomach. In the second procedure, the remaining stomach will be partially blocked.
Castaneda wants him to lose 59kg in the first six months, which alone reduces his risk of obesity-related cancer by 52 percent. Juan Pedro, 32, has a good chance of losing half his body weight by about six months after his first surgery.
“Slowly but surely, I’ll get there,” Juan Pedro said.
