650-Pound Man | National Geographic


Allen barges weighs 650 pounds more than
three times the weight of the average
u.s. male by his own confession he’s
guilty of gluttony for 30 years
Allen was eating himself to death
it’s 7:00 in the morning Alan Vargas is
leaving the hospital and heading home to
st. Thomas Pennsylvania
this electric winch is the easiest way
to transfer Allen’s great bulk into the
ambulance
[Music]
when Alan was admitted into the hospital
four months ago he weighed 750 pounds
[Music]
saddled with several hundred extra
pounds Allen’s heart had a huge job
pumping blood around his enormous system
he collapsed after his body couldn’t
take it anymore
now after bariatric surgery he’s lost
100 pounds his aim is to lose another
300 so he can lead an active life again
in their 30 years of marriage Allen and
his wife Cindy have never been separated
it’s a joy I got my baby back got my
honey back my best friend her legs
aren’t built to support such a birdie so
Allen can’t stand or walk he’s a living
example of how too much fat can cripple
the body

door how am I gonna do it’s a process
that Cindy finds distressing they’re
carrying a lot of weight of the way they
have to get him in

husband go through this are these good
gentlemen who able to get him safely in
the house are they going to be able to

it takes six strong men to bring Allen
home to his wife what a wanker very nice

others I invented the house for a year
