I have seen quite a few of these documentaries where very large people need to lose a lot of weight, and practically all of them have the triple bypass operation, and here's another one of those programmes. Basically 38-year-old Colin Corfield weighs 48 stone, and doctors have warned him that if he doesn't lose at least 30 stone he will die. He is constant pain, with difficulty breathing at night, needs to be dressed, and has even thought of suicide. He decides that it's time to get an operation to staple his stomach so that his food intake is reduced, but he needs to lose a little weight so there is more chance of his survival, because he has a high body mass index. When he has lost this weight amount, he finally has the operation. Months later he is still shedding the weight dramatically, and slowly getting thinner and thinner, even if he still has excess skin left over. A good documentary with quite an interesting character, and he has many good friends and family supporting him. Worth watching!
