According to Guinness World Records, the record weight for a living person is held by Manuel Uribe from Mexico, who weighed 1,235 pounds (560kg) in 2006. After making a television appeal for help, his weight in March 2012 had fallen to 980 pounds (444.6 kg.)
According to the official spokesman for Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health, Shaari was due to arrive in Riyadh either later Monday or on Tuesday. Pictures showed a fork-lift truck lifting him in is bed. The spokesman said Shaari is aged between 18 and 20.
He will be treated at the King Fahd Medical City, and undergo a series of dietary and physical programs in order to help him lose weight, the spokesman said. Although surgery is not scheduled at the moment, the Ministry of Health says it has not been ruled out. Special beds and trolleys have been made for him.

This case highlights how obesity is a growing problem in the Gulf.
According to the U.N., Kuwait has the highest proportion of obese adults in the Middle East, with 42.8% of its population considered severely overweight. Saudi Arabia follows at 35.2%.
The growth of obesity in the region is also an economic concern. According to a report by Frost & Sullivan, healthcare spending across the Gulf will triple to $133.2 billion by 2018, mainly as a result of lifestyle diseases.

These cases are due to genetic diseases. It is not just a case of binge eating.

He is coming to me at KFMC. Welcome to Riyadh, may you get well soon.

His video was on TV.

The forklift was lifting his bed with steel chains...then he was transported to the airport where he was then forklifted into the cargo hold of a C-130.

Feel really sorry for the boy. May he get thin soon.

Mussa believe me these cases would have never exceeded 300 to 400 pound if their lifestyle wee healthier no matter how severe their genetic disease were .

Saudis and Gulf arabs are among the fattest nations on earth. Kuwait is the fattest in the world. What a shame for all muslims, most muslims are dying of hunger and poverty, yet these people have so much food that they are fattest countries.

What a crazy world we live in

Absolutely disgusting. People that fat are immoral weak slobs, without any self control. Let him die of his own gluttony and sloth, there are people who genuinely need the money to fight poverty in the Muslim world. There are kids without enough to eat because this fat pig is a black hole consuming everything around him.
Humanity is better off without people like him evolving into pigs.
Did I mention that he is a disgusting pig?
Eating disorder, fat disease, bad genes are all excuses for fat pigs.

The guy is ill, his obesity is way above eating disorder, but rather a genetic issue.

This person is ill, his issue has nothing to do with overeating or whatever.

We are the largest donor in the world, wether the money goes to Muslims or others, we don't care. We even donated to your own country.

I make no apologies, I stand by my statement that the guy is a fat pig. You cannot get that fat by being a productive and active human being but only by indolent and wasteful consumption. Donations to a bad cause (overweight leeching pigs) is just money down the drain while the same money spent on malnourished people is for the betterment of humanity. Im not taking a shot at Saudi Arabia, I am simply against obscenely fat people.
Let the pig die and save money for a better cause.

@+4vsgorillas-Apebane

I make no apologies.

What for ?

So sorry! But your opinion makes no difference since the guy is being looked after, there is nothing much you can do about it except shouting and raving.

Donations to a bad cause (overweight leeching pigs) is just money down the drain.

You can say this if it were about your own country, but with all due respect, your rants won't change a thing in light of this issue.

while the same money spent on malnourished people is for the betterment of humanity.

I agree. But as I stated earlier, we are helping people everywhere including your own country.

Im not taking a shot at Saudi Arabia

Nobody said you're.

Let the pig die and save money for a better cause.

You can say whatever you wish but the guy is in safe hands for now.
