Fattest Person in the World in 2018
Juan Pedro Franco is considered to be the fattest person alive. His weight was 595 kilograms in 2016, so the Guinness World Records declared this Mexican man as the fattest man alive in 2017. He is still considered the heaviest man in the world up-to-date.
Juan wants to lose weight and is doing a lot to achieve success. He wished to undergo the gastric bypass surgery; however, his weight did not let him do this until he lost about 170 kilograms.
The surgery was successful, and the man who had to spend many years in bed but wished to walk again got this chance. Juan Pedro Franco, the world fattest man, is now going through many challenges. Doctors will continue helping the Mexican to get rid of extra kilograms, but this program can take years.
By the way, according to Franco, he got in a car accident when he was 17 years old and this accident somehow broke his body making him gain much weight over 16 years. The surgeries and desire to lose weight show the first successes, as Franco can finally make some steps using a walker, but his life is still at risk and will remain so until he gets rid of obesity.
