Konishiki loses a lot of weight

May 31st, 2008 by James

Former sumo wrestler Konishiki, who got gastric bypass surgery a few months ago, has lost a lot of weight, as this news report shows:

Konishiki avoided answering questions about how much weight he lost and the difficulties he has gone through, but according to the report, he weighed about 300kg (661 pounds) before the surgery and now weighs about 230kg (507 pounds). Judging from the video of him arriving at Narita Airport in a wheelchair, one can’t help but think that he’s still dangerously overweight.

My god! I feel for that guy.

Surgery to lose weight…? I hope he loses it.

What is he now, all of 39 years old?

“one can’t help but think that he’s still dangerously overweight.”

At 507 pounds? Yeah, he’s got about 300 to go. Still good on him for getting this far.
