So sad I know a lot of people here watch the show so I figured I'd share. I never realized till I watched the show how hard obesity hits the body, and that even something as simple as an infection or cold can kill you when you're severely overweight. Sean is the latest example of that.

Let's use this as a reminder to be happy that we are working on our health, and that slipping is never worth it.

Yeah he was one of the highest weights on the show... Sad but you can't survive obesity forever

This is so sad!

And the big take away for each of us should be, that they said “people who have regains of large amounts of their surgical weight loss may have a much higher risk of mortality within 2 years of the regain.”

This is very sobering isn’t it? In other words, the stakes are very high in our obesity intervention, and we must change our lives for the better to guard against regain and high risk of death.

Doesn't really apply to most of us he was 600lbs OVERWEIGHT
