Correct my math on this, I don't know kg. I understand a stone is around 20 pounds so Mr. Bower went from 2000 pounds to 680 pounds? Wow! That's amazing. I applaud him, it must have been horrible at times for him limiting his food and calorie/fat intake. Well done Mr. B! I see that this is a 4 year old story. I wonder how Mr. Bower is doing now? Anyone know?

It's remarkable he's even sitting up. How did he get to and from the hospital?
