Patrick D. Deuel (born March 28th, 1962), is an American individual known for being one of the heaviest people in the world. He was the subject of the documentary "Half Ton Man" in Channel Four's BodyShock series.[2][3] In the documentary, Rosalie Bradford gave advice after achieving a record-breaking weight loss of 410 kilograms (900 lb).
Born in Grand Island, Nebraska, United States, Deuel was a former restaurant manager. At one point, he had not left his house (in Valentine) for 7 years. He stood at 170 cm (5 ft 7 in), and weighed 1,072 pounds (486 kg), at his peak. He was so enormous that his bedroom wall had to be cut out to extract him from his home. Then, he was rushed to a hospital at Sioux Falls, South Dakota in an ambulance with extra-wide doors and a ramp-and-winch system. The ambulance had to be dispatched from Denver.[4]
Gastric bypass surgery was thought to be his best chance for permanent weight loss. A second operation removed a mass of fat and skin hanging from his midsection. After 12 months, Patrick lost 260 kilograms (570 lb).
