Two years ago, fans were introduced to Chad’s story. Weighing more than 700 pounds, his relationship with food had taken precedence over his family life. “If he didn’t have this surgery, I’d probably be home planning my husband’s funeral,” Chad’s wife confessed to cameras. After his bypass, the reality star worked hard to lose more than half his body weight and get approved for skin surgery on his left leg.
Now, more than two years since his initial surgery, Chad underwent a second surgery to remove excess skin on his other leg, which provided him with more mobility. His amazing transformation has helped the reality star to lead a happier and healthier life.
Chad even got to cross things off his weight loss “bucket list,” such as owning and riding his own motorcycle. “It opens up more doors for me and my family to have more fun, more opportunities for us to do things,” he explained. Adding, “I’m happy with where I’m at.”
Since losing 400 pounds, Chad has made several TV appearances and even released a memoir titled I’m In Here Somewhere: Memoir of a Food Addict. Catch Chad and Pauline’s story tonight on My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now? at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
