Juan Pedro Franco from Mexico began his weight problems in early childhood.
At the age of six, he weighed a whopping 60 kilos, and an injury during puberty made matters worse. By the time he was 17, he weighed 229 kilos!
As time went by, Juan continued to gain weight, and by the age of 32, he had reached 609 kilos. In 2016, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized him as the “fattest man in the world.”
Let me tell you what the story was about — теперь он неузнаваем после резкого похудения
Eight years ago Juan was the fattest man in the world – today he is unrecognizable after an impressive weight loss.
At his heaviest, he couldn’t get out of bed without the help of eight people and wore diapers so he wouldn’t have to get up to go to the bathroom.
Juan was a prisoner of his own body for six years before he made a decision that changed his life completely.
He realized he wouldn’t live much longer if he didn’t change something – but nothing seemed to work.

For the first time in over six years, Juan was able to leave his home to undergo the much-desired operation.
In the hospital, doctors discovered numerous pathologies: type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypertension and fluid in the lungs.

The first operation was successful, but Juan had to lose over 170 kilos to be able to undergo the second.
In 2017, he achieved this goal and underwent his second surgery.
After that, he decided to change his life completely.

Juan is still fighting for a healthier life – last year, in 2023, he already weighed “only” 355 kilos.
