Jakarta –
A man in Mexico has become the heaviest person in the world, weighing almost 600 kg. His weight caused him to die and almost died.
Juan Pedro Franco (39) once weighed 594 kg. His weight is equivalent to 10 adult men so doing activities is difficult for him.
Since childhood, he had problems with his weight. He weighed 63.5 kg when he was only 6 years old.
When he was a teenager, Juan suffered an injury that made his condition worse. At the age of 17, his weight reached 228 kg. This condition almost took his life. Juan could only lie in bed and had to wear diapers because he couldn’t walk to the toilet.
He also decided to lose weight. This weight loss journey is not easy and requires surgery and other struggles to maintain health.
After being taken to a weight loss clinic in Guadalajara, Juan underwent a long course of treatment that helped him begin his weight loss journey with fitness and bodybuilding after surgery.
“Just being able to raise my hand and get up every day, get up to drink or go to the toilet, makes me feel amazing,” Juan told local media Telemundo.
In 2020, Juan was diagnosed with COVID-19. Even though his weight is 208 kg, his history of diabetes, high blood pressure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease makes his fight against this virus very tiring.
“It’s a very aggressive disease. I have headaches, body aches, difficulty breathing, fever. I am a person who is very at risk,” Franco told AFP from his home in Aguascalientes state.
