World's Fattest Man Prepares For Life-saving Surgery After Spending 7 Years Confined To A Bed... Photos

The world's fattest man is preparing for life-saving gastric bypass surgery after spending nearly seven years confined to a bed. Juan Pedro Franco, who once weighed more than half a ton, has lost a whopping 27 and a half stone to go under the knife.

The 32-year-old, from Aguascalientes in Mexico, has been on a three-month diet to prepare for the operation on Tuesday.

He will go through a series of intense tests, with his blood, imaging, pulmonary and cardiac function studied by a team of doctors.

Doctors hope the surgery will help Juan walk again - after being confined to his bed for nearly seven years.

Dr Jose Antonio Castaneda Cruz said: "He has lost nearly 30 per cent of his initial weight, so he is ready to undergo the bariatric surgery."

Juan discovered in November that he was actually 15 stone heavier than doctors first thought.

Doctors believed he weighed nearly 79 stone when he was taken to hospital earlier that month for surgery.

But tests showed his true weight to be 92 stone 9lbs- just over a stone short of record-breaking compatriot Manuel Uribe who reached a peak weight of 94 stone before dying in May 2014.

O boy see fatness... What's the cause?

What should I say 'get well soon' or 'walk soon'? This too much

Just wondering why some over pampered boy or girl will not only be a liability to themselves, but to everyone around them.

Imagine how many people/energy it would take to carry him

Why is that thing so common in Mexico? If this heaviest man thing had a world cup they would have won it back-to-back. I read about that Uribe guy when I was in high school and now this.

This is what happens when food becomes soo cheap..

been unfortunate is an understatement

This can never happen in Nigeria

How person go fat like this?

@Brownbarbie97 What makes you say so,if I may ask?

With all the poverty,recession and stress in the land

They should just deflate fat boy with a needle. No need for all this long process.

Then you ain't seen nothing yet. I have a family friend(a plus sized-lady) that weighed almost 140 kg at some point and she lives here in Nigeria. The thing is,obesity has very little to do with the factors you have listed. Do you know how many morbidly obessed people we have in this country.

You may have a point but no matter how obese they are I don't think they are confined to the bed and can't move.its not as bad as these foreign ones

@Brownbarbie97. This guys predicament started when he had a traffic accident that destroyed half his body and got him bedridden for 1 year+. Although he was already obessed before the accident,I strongly suspect inactivity coupled with over-feeding(perhaps he binged on hi-cal food and beverages all through the time) and certain genetic factors may have brought him to this. Perhaps,there must be something in his anatomy that stores fat at an alarming rate. My point is this sort thing can happen any where in the world given the circumstances and factors that I have listed. Sorry about the lengthy epistle.

Thanks for enlightening me,I understand better now

You don't have to make me feel like a teacher cos I am not one. On the contrary I learnt a few things from you about how recession and stress are producing more skinny Nigerians. I wasn't aware of that until now. Thanks for enlightening me.
