1,000 Pound Man Loses over 600 Pounds

Patrick Deuel from Valentine, Neb, weighed in at 1,072 pounds in 2004 and is now down to 400lbs. He had gastric bypass surgery, which is a stomach stapling procedure.
Tuesday he had another operation to remove an 81-pound mass of fat and skin called a pannus. This was making it hard for him to walk. His doctor Fred Harris said, "If Patrick never lost another pound, I'd be a happy camper."
Deuel was unable to get out of his bedroom due to size and a hole was cut in his bedroom wall. He was unable to use a regular ambulance so one was dispatched from Denver.
