Darin McCloud is a diabetic, weighing 127kg (20st). He is just 6 kgs away to qualify for the gastric bypass surgery.

‘The operation will help my diabetes, help me stop being on insulin and help me with my other problems. I still eat, and that I can’t get my head around. There is a switch somewhere but I can’t turn it off.’
Dr Lorraine Albon, diabetic consultant at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, said: ‘If he doesn’t have the surgery soon he will lose his job and add further complications to his diabetes.’
