Fattest man in the world loses 230 kilo
Manuel Uribe, who was the fattest man in the world (according to the Guinness world of records), has lost a whopping 230 kilo’s. The man who weighed in at 570 kilo at his heaviest has lost almost half his body weight.
The Mexican man from Monterrey lost the weight quicker than the doctors were expecting. For the past two years he’s been getting help from specialists from Mexico, the United Stated and Italy. In the next four years Manuel Uribe wants to slim down to 120 kilo.
“I’m going to throw a big party. I’m getting out of my house and going for a walk. I feel great, the doctors say I’m healthier than ever” said Manuel Uribe.
Good for him! Losing that much weight when you are bed-ridden is amazing! I wish him all the best and I hope he will reach his goal-weight.

I wonder what he is going to do with all that skin, I mean is it even possible to remove so much skin when you have been THAT big?
Well, score to him for doing it anyway!

I hope that a surgeon will donate her or his skills to remove the extra skin. God bless him with good health and good spirits.
