Has probably lost more weight during his lifetime than anyone else.
Dropped 709 lbs (907 to 198) of his weight between 1987 and 1989. In
May 1996 he was again up to an estimated 940 lbs (was 850 nine weeks
earlier); a 9' by 5' opening was created in his apartment wall in order
to get him out. Two months later he had lost 300 lbs. But by June 1999
he reached his peak weight of an estimated 1,100 lbs, having gained
some 500 lbs within six months; this time he was removed from his
apartment with the help of a forklift. In 2003 he entered Brookhaven
Rehabilitation and Health Care Center with a weight of 769 lbs, and was
down to 500 lbs in 2004. At his heaviest his waist measured 110" - it
had been down to 36" in 1989.
