Would you rather be obese and eat yourself to death or lose it and look like this?
 

Funny thing is, he actually looks like a decent looking guy. You can fix the skin issue.

That can be fixed with surgery.

I opt for losing it.

Lose it.

lot of work getting there.. lot of work losing it

I wonder how much skin can safely be removed? he was 630 lbs. Its not like he has excess skin from dropping down from 350.

Lose the weight because you can always have surgery to remove the skin.

The guy with 630 pounds was bad looking and risking his life.

Now he is bad looking but at least he is not dying slowly and it can be fixed, it's just a matter of money.

I bet this guy could get enough money to get it fixed just selling his image for some marketing stuff, on other words, getting sponsored.

He could sell his excess skin to a local yact club, and they could make sails out of it.

Where there's a will there's a way. :D

The guy should be proud of himself. I´m sure it took a lot of work to lose all of that weight. It kind of reminds me of a girl I once did though, his tits, where when the girl took off her bra, her tits dropped below her kneecaps... He just needs to put the effort into saving enough money to get rid of that excess skin, he should be able to do that within another 3 years... Or maybe go on a talk show like Maury Povich and get one of those makeovers... ;)

Holy shit thats amazing.

If chicks can have their lips and boobs done that kid can have some skin removed.

I like cabbage clits!

He did what needed to be done and if he get's that excess skin off and starts eating right and gets exercise, he'll be doing alright, so good for him.........

lost it.. surgery can fix it

Amazing. I bet most of that can get chopped off.

I would rather be alive and have to deal with a lot of extra skin then dead. Worth it to me, good for him.

good from him! yeah....surgery will make that lots better...

Reality check. We are all dying slowly. Just busting your balls, I know what you mean. :Oh crap

congrats to him - i'm sure a good plastic surgeon can do a lot with the excess skin but bet it costs a 100K and probably a lot more. doubt it will ever look totally normal but in clothes he should be ok.

True... it is just a matter of money. Question is if he stays slim or starts eating again like a pig? In this case he is in trouble.

Nothing some money wont fix

I think he became handsome when he lost weight.. Just a matter of money to get the excess skins removed then whoah!!!:thumbsup

This all happened a year or so ago, so who knows? He does look pretty good in the last pic on this page, though: http://www.hemmy.net/2007/07/02/davi...ht-lost-story/

Awesome Update Pics!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I saw a guy similar to him once on some TV show. He had the excess skin removed but it left horrible scars.

I guess in the end it's definitely worth it. I'd rather have a few bad scars instead of being 600 pounds and unable to function in society.

Lose it. The skin can be removed.

Amazing transformation. I bet he's getting plenty of poon now:

go anabolics!

there was this show on tv about a lady that had a gastric bypass and lost a ton of weight then had surgeries to remove the loose skin on her legs, stomach, arms, etc...

it was crazy the amount of pain she was going through... she almost lost a leg because it got infected... just gross

i thought that stuff was just a simple surgery but i guess it causes serious trauma to the body

I'd clip off the skin!

I can't remember whether it was this guy or another one, but i heard this story where some guy was extremely obese, like in the range of 700-900lbs and then he lost 2 thirds of his weight and ended up looking like this guy in the picture, with a lot of lose skin. He was poor but his relatives and other family had donated over 200k for his skin removal surgery. He looked good afterwards. Only to gain back some 400 pounds immediately in the following year..... What a jackass

:1orglaugh

Id rather be alive with some excess skin

big respect for that guy.

i'd rather lose it...

Are you seriously that vain that you have to think about whether you would rather live or die because you would look funny if you lived?

hopefully he leaves the baboon tits those are sweet:pimp

Hahahahahaha!

Fuck I need to do something like this guy, I'm around 255 lbs right now

damn, thats a lot of skin.

could donate it to burn victims and possibly get it removed for free.

after that, he might be able to score.

Lose the weight and then go through a surgery to remove the skin :)
