Obese Dad Shed Loads of Weight to Get Proper Sleep
The problem became so acute that Seamus struggled to function during the day and consequently lost his job. Doctors told Seamus, who weighed 24st 13lbs that he had to trim his fat if he was to sleep properly.
Seamus had a gastric band surgery in 2006, but it snapped forcing him to go for a gastric bypass surgery. The surgery was a success and the tubby man lost 13st and is now at a manageable 11st 10lbs.
"I can't believe how lucky I am. If you can't sleep, you can't live. I didn't sleep for six years. It wrecked my life, Seamus told The Sun. "I got let go from my job. I couldn't concentrate and wasn't a reliable timekeeper."
Seamus also developed diabetes along the way. But now following the surgery, he can sleep properly and more importantly his diabetes is under control.
