For Patrick Deuel, who in June checked into a Sioux Falls hospital weighing an almost inconceivable 1,072 pounds, a downward spiral is a welcome twist in a life plagued by obesity.

Deuel, 42 and slightly less than 6 feet tall, has stuck to a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet and dropped 321 pounds so far at Avera McKennan. In the next 18 months to two years, the plan is to gradually shed another 450 or more pounds, all under the careful supervision of a team of eight doctors and several nurses.

It would mark a rare medical accomplishment, for few people top out at more than 1,000 pounds, much less go on to shed enough weight to live a healthy life.
...
Deuel needed an oxygen machine to breathe and help from a team of nurses to roll over in bed. His heart threatened to collapse from trying to support so much body.
...
He weighed about 90 pounds in kindergarten and more than 250 in middle school, and he steadily worked up from there.
...
The idea for Deuel is, during the next several months, to lose enough weight to lessen the pressure on his heart, get his diabetes in check and in general build up his strength so that he can have the [gastric bypass] surgery. He figures he needs to lose another 250 pounds or so.

Yeah I wonder the same thing also.

WHO the hell is FEEDING this guy.

At about 750lbs I'd imagine him not being able to move much...

Well hope he learns his lesson and eat the hell less.

How do you weigh 90lbs in kindergarten? 250lbs in middle school?!

DID no one see a problem with 250lbs in middle school? wtf?!

I should think it's time to stop eating so much and exercise once one passes 400...at that point you're already monstrous and it's not so much cosmetic as it is health issues. I weigh 150 @ 71 inches (5'11") and I continue to exercise (I run) and diet. If I can do it I'm sure someone can prevent themself from passing into the 400, 500+ range. I can't imagine how anyone could possibly reach girth that size, let alone sustain it. It just doesn't even seem possible.
