      Agree. Statistics prove if you lose the weight on your own & not surgery, the weight will stay off in the long term. It’s not the surgery it’s the relationship you have with food. A quick fix is not the answer. “We” get so used to the easy way out, that’s all we expect.Instead of the pride of accomplishing our goals on our own. U should be so proud of yourself!

      If that's all that he needed to do, the doctor would not say that he can move forward with the surgery. Sometimes weight can get beyond the point of a person being able to lose it on their own. Sometimes the heart cannot take exercise. It's nice that it for some.

    I used to be really fat. Maybe not as fat as Thederick, but still I was on the verge of developing serious health conditions. I remember not being able to tie my shoelaces and my sleep suffered as well. My life changed when I finally set my mind to the thinking that anything is possible if you decide so. I took a meal plan to start with. I created it from Nextlevel diet, which was super helpful to me. I didn't have to worry about calories, macros, nutrients and all that stuff. I just focused on walking long distances and exercising after I got on a level where I could do some simple workouts. I hope my story will inspire you to do the same. To change your body you must first change your mind!!

I am glad I have found way to get over my food addiction by looking for other ways of dealing with my emotions. I went down this path when I was a kid and I got up to 250lbs. Weight loss is possible, but if you have a bad food addiction, it’s not as easy as some people say. I am a healthy weight now, and I’m almost done with my 100LBS weight loss journey. I share my journey over here on my channel. If you don’t think it’s possible, it is. Anyone can lose weight and improve their lives. Please don’t wait until it’s too late.

    I think removing that large lymphedema mass on his leg will benefit him tremendously. (I can only imagine how uncomfortable it must be) He will have more mobility without it bothering him. This will definitely help he shed the weight faster.

      He has to lose weight first and then wear compression pads plus this special vibrating thing to circulate the fluid from his lymphedema before he can have surgery.

      It's good that he was able to lose so much weight though, he has proved to himself that he can do it even without surgery. Also, he is going to be in trouble if he doesn't lose weight, because of his weak heart, so he has even more reason to stick with it now.

    Oh gosh, that is a devastating diagnosis. Congestive heart failure, CHF, is such a hard thing to manage. It’s irreversible and you only get worse, your heart can’t get better. If he’s at an early stage he can remain asymptomatic if he gets his weight down and takes medicine. It basically means his heart is not pumping the amount of blood it should to the rest of his body, this is the ejection fraction. I’m surprised he’s diagnosed as young as he is because CHF is often seen in older patients, and comes with all kinds of dietary restrictions which include low salt and diabetes control.
    I wish him the best and I hope he’s not devastated but he’s activated by the news. Poor guy :(

    At my heaviest, I used to weigh 631lbs.. It wasn't weight loss surgery or some expensive workout/diet plan that turned things around for me, it was one simple thing, learning to say No (To Myself). The magic secret is 1 oz. discipline. I had to learn to say NO! to my urges and that was literally it. I just said No to myself when I wanted to eat unhealthy foods and the pounds started flying off. I have lost close to 500lbs in the last year and a half ( I now weigh 136 lbs) and it was by just saying No to my urges, not buying unhealthy food and not making excuses. I didn't have to do anything other than keep my fat mouth shut for 1 & 1/2 years and I now look and feel amazing! (Sure, I have a parachute size flap of skin that I can twirl around myself like some sort of disturbing hula hoop, but I feel 100x more confident & happy now, than I did before.) I used to be very pro body positivity, and I still am, but the truth was I was miserable on the inside when I was obese ( I couldn't even wipe my ass without difficulty). Now, I am able to move around more freely and I can even drive my car to the nightclub where I dance all night and bang anybody that wants to take a ride on this magic skin flap. (You?)
