\nIt was worth the weight- Casey, an American, embarked on a remarkable weight loss journey with the assistance of a popular TV show. A reality star who once tipped the scales at a whopping 845 pounds has dropped almost two-thirds of his body weight after spending the past four years on an intense exercise and diet plan.\n
\n
Casey King, 38, underwent bariatric surgery back in 2019, with the procedure helping him with a weight loss journey that eventually saw him shed 600 pounds.\n
However, the excitement of this achievement soon gave way to a fresh set of challenges as he beheld his reflection in the mirror post-weight loss. The transformation had been so profound that it left Casey in a state of shock. His facial features had become more pronounced, and his skin now displayed noticeable signs of sagging due to the significant weight loss.\n
\n
The whopping weight gain made it hard for him to undertake everyday activities \u2014 including bathing. King was forced to get clean in an outdoor trough on his father\u2019s back deck because he was unable to fit into a regular-size shower or bath.\n
\u201cBecause I am a bigger guy with, like, folds and flaps, I have to move around, almost like a pig in a way, and wallow and roll over to get the back of my leg. I have to lift up literal pieces of skin. It\u2019s just a super difficult process,\u201d King claimed.\n

His facial features had become more pronounced, and his skin now displayed noticeable signs of sagging due to the significant weight loss.\n
\n
His determination, however, didn\u2019t stop at shedding the excess pounds; he was determined to undergo plastic surgery to address the cosmetic aspects of his transformation, aiming to restore his appearance to a more familiar and comfortable state.\n
The inspiring star even has an Instagram highlight reel featuring all weight-loss tips for anyone who might need advice, which includes drinking water all day and avoiding sugary drinks.\n
The reactions to Casey\u2019s transformation were diverse and reflective of the internet\u2019s candid nature. Some questioned the motivations behind his drastic change, while others applauded his tremendous achievement, stating that he had done an excellent job.\n
\n
However, there were also those who suggested that perhaps he should have halted the weight loss process earlier to avoid the physical alterations that had taken place.\n
In the midst of these varied responses, there was a strong undercurrent of support and encouragement for Casey. Many regarded him as a hero for taking control of his health and transforming his life through weight loss. Some even expressed their own aspirations to embark on similar weight loss journeys.\n
The comments section under Casey\u2019s photo became a platform where internet users conveyed their admiration for his determination and acknowledged that, through his transformation, he had become a beacon of hope for those facing similar challenges.\n
\n
King eventually got off unemployment and has been working at Home Depot for the past three years, with the job helping him stay active.\n
In November 2021, on his 37th birthday, King posted that he was down to 255 pounds.\n
\u201cI\u2019m the healthiest I\u2019ve been since #highschool I\u2019m the happiest I\u2019ve been since #forever and I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever felt more or #loved myself more,\u201d he wrote in the caption. \u201c5 pounds away from a weight I never really considered imaginable, I never saw even possible.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
