Today’s piece profiles Killas Givens, a 35-year-old man who gained 727 pounds. He wanted to cease being a burden for his wife and three daughters.
He realized that his weight was causing problems in both his marriage to Jessica and his personal life. He therefore decided to take action.
Because of his weight, Killas was bedridden for almost two and a half years, requiring full-time care from his wife. Despite the fact that they met when Killas was already overweight, their love for each other remained strong.
Killas joined the reality show “I Weigh 727 lbs” in an attempt to lose weight. He was quite ill when he went to the doctor, and the doctor cautioned him that if he hadn’t done anything, he might have died. This means that appearing on the show essentially saved his life.
Killas lost about 154 pounds in the first episode and even regained his ability to walk. Following that, he had surgery to minimize the size of his stomach, which has hastened his weight loss.
He lost 418 pounds in a year, and an incredible 462 pounds in a year and a half!
Killas had surgery to remove the excess skin after dramatically decreasing her weight. He has tripled his job responsibilities and is once again living a fulfilling life while simultaneously providing for his family.
