World’s Fattest Man Joins Gym After Gastric Band Fails

The world’s fattest man is back on a diet after gastric band surgery failed him. Known as the half-tonne man, he dropped from 77 stone to 27 stone after his gastric band was fitted. However, his weight has crept up to 36 stone, caused he says, by comfort eating after his wife moved away for business reasons.

However, he is now doing the sensible thing and hitting the gym. He said “I’m gonna get down there and work out”. Good on you Patrick Deuel, show people that exercise does cause weight loss.
