Half ton man.

Patrick Deuel is one of the world's heaviest men. At his heaviest (76 stone) his health was at serious risk, leading to his hospitalisation where it was discovered he was on the verge of death from congenital heart disease. When his health is stabilised, Dr. Fred Morris, an obesity surgeon, operates on his stomach to reduce it to the size of a thumb and Deuel returns home weighing 44 stone. The documentary follows Deuel's progress out of the hospital and we also hear from Rosalie Bradford, once 85 stone and the world's heaviest woman, from Michael Hebranko who became a celebrity after losing 50 stone only to be rushed to hospital 7 years later weighing 70 stone. Richard Simmonds, a dieting guru, talks about his own battle with obesity, and he visits Brook Haven, a centre run by Rob Coleman, for people with morbid obesity.
