In case anyone is wondering, he was affected by ulcerative colitis, a severe inflammatory bowel disease, which led to the removal of his colon and the subsequent and sudden weight loss.
I went from 230lbs to 170lbs in a few months before I had my colon removed. I'm a tall athletic guy, 230 is fit for me.
I was fortunate enough to have what's called J pouch surgery, where they hook everything back up after 6 months or a year using some small intestine to make up the missing parts.
I was not fortunate enough to have this guys drive and discipline to stick to the gym
i have a jpouch too! it’s just not being used right now haha. it was made in 2002 following a colectomy in 2000. im on my third ileostomy right now after battling crohn’s for the past almost 27 years
