Juan Pedro started a weight-loss regimen in 2016.
Since, he has lost 329 kilograms, down from a startling 595 kilos, or roughly the same as a male polar bear. He currently weighs 266 kg.
An obesity specialist in Guadalajara, Mexico, consented to operate on Juan after hearing his pleading for assistance. Juan got out of bed for the first time to undergo the life-altering procedure.
He was identified as having type 2 diabetes, thyroid problems, hypertension, and fluids in his lungs while in the hospital.
He had already reduced 26 stone and 10 pounds by 2017, sufficient for him to be approved for the game-changing gastric band procedure.
Additionally, Juan continued to lose weight after the surgery by altering his diet and exercise routine. By 2019, he had lost one-third of his body weight.
Juan has shed an astonishing 52 stone in the last three years, and his current weight is 41 stone.
Juan discussed the change on Telemundo in Mexico and stated,
“Just being able to pick up your arms and get up every day, get up for a glass of water or to use the restroom, makes you feel amazing.
It feels great to be able to move around more and to be more independent.”
So, Mr. Franco is no longer in bed because he can walk and exercise more to keep his stature.
