00:00Je suis Casey King et j'ai perdu presque 600 lbs.
00:03Je weighs 823 lbs.
00:07Aujourd'hui, je weigh environ 245 lbs.
00:09C'est ma vieillesse, non-existent.
00:13Je dirais que j'ai eu un alimentaire.
00:15C'est ce que j'ai eu, par exemple, la meilleure décision de ma vie.
00:21C'est un jour où j'ai eu l'air.
00:24Je suis très heureux de lui.
00:25J'ai perdu tout ce que j'ai eu.
00:34Je veux que mon futur de me soit fulfilled.
00:37Je veux que la famille.
00:39Je veux que la famille.
00:39Tell me about la loose skin,
00:41as a result of your weight loss,
00:43et comment vous sentez-vous?
00:47Juste avant de faire quelque chose,
00:48je veux juste avoir un peu de son audio.
00:51Je vais juste attendre 20 secondes.
00:56Je vais me cry à un point,
00:57juste pour être clair,
00:58à un point.
00:59Et donc, j'ai l'air,
01:00c'est presque,
01:00mais oui,
01:02c'est pas possible.
01:03Oui,
01:04c'est bien.
01:05C'est bien.
01:07C'est bien.
01:08J'ai joué 823 lbs.
01:11C'est bien.
01:13J'ai joué 823 lbs.
01:14J'ai joué,
01:16j'ai joué,
01:16j'ai joué,
01:17j'ai joué,
01:27j'ai joué,
01:28j'ai joué,
01:29j'ai joué,
01:30j'ai joué une trough,
01:34j'ai joué un peu d'autres,
01:35j'ai joué pas à l'attre pour une vie.
01:39Je devrais pas pouvoir être dans une vie.
01:45Hold on, bud. Slow down. Just wait. Come here.
01:49My struggles with weight started pretty much from birth.
01:53Go. Come on.
01:55It was 12 pounds, 6 ounces.
01:57My relationship with food growing up was always super toxic.
02:01I would definitely say I had a food addiction.
02:03There were two things that were like the hugest catalyst.
02:06My nephew was born.
02:07And I was just like, I'm your only uncle. I love you.
02:10I can't be this giant blob of a man.
02:15And I was just like, this is not the life that I want for me or this kid.
02:20And then also, nine years ago, I was sitting in my living room.
02:23I couldn't get off the ground. I just couldn't get up.
02:26So we called my cousin. He brought a friend.
02:29They wrapped a sheet around me, lifted me up off the ground, sat on the couch.
02:33My other cousin was like, you should just go to the hospital tomorrow
02:36and admit yourself into the emergency room.
02:38I did that, and then I stayed in the hospital for four and a half weeks just being overweight.
02:43And they were like, you're going to die.
02:44If you stay on this course, you will die soon.
02:48I came home, started going to the gym, lost weight, dropped down, but that stopped.
02:54So then I gained some weight back, enter a friend.
02:57The possibility of being on the show comes in for TLC.
03:00And then I had sleeve surgery on my stomach.
03:03I had a surgery in September of 2018, bariatric sleeve surgery.
03:09I weighed 823 pounds.
03:13Today, I weigh about 245.
03:15I've lost over 550 pounds.
03:18Choosing to have the surgery is by far the best decision of my life.
03:22Yeah, I would do it again to this day.
03:28Immediately after the surgery, you're on a liquid diet.
03:31And then you move into pureed foods.
03:33And then as I got smaller, I got more active and I was able to do more things.
03:37And then I would eat healthier.
03:39I would do more.
03:40And then I noticed that like, if I just ate a couple more salads,
03:43if I ate, you know, a little less carbs and not so much fried food
03:47and more grilled vegetables and like meat, I just lost, you know, weight.
03:51That's a huge lifestyle change from where I was to where I am now.
03:56Okay, so these were a pair of shorts.
03:58So I wore them basically as underwear, a bathing suit and or shorts.
04:05This is an old shirt.
04:08It's pretty enormous.
04:10At my heaviest, my dad was like an extension of me.
04:15He was my cook, my transportation, my only friend.
04:20I didn't go anywhere without him.
04:23I guess in a way I was part of the cause of him gaining so much weight.
04:28But at the time, I was just trying to be a good father and take care of him.
04:32And I was scared you're going to die.
04:35Really.
04:36He was real ill and grouchy when he was bigger.
04:41Because deep down inside, he was just frustrated the way he was.
04:46I don't blame you for me getting like big.
04:48Like, it's not your fault.
04:49He was just trying to take care of me.
04:51I mean, I was huge.
04:53I wasn't the nicest because I was just addicted to foods.
04:56I did it.
04:57I ate the food.
04:57I never in my wildest dreams would have thought he would have got down to what he is now.
05:04It's been one hell of a journey.
05:06And I tell you what, I'm so proud of him.
05:09We really went through a lot.
05:11God, we did.
05:13Together.
05:15That's what made it so great.
05:16We did it together.
05:17I mean, I lost all that weight and I just have all these things that I want for me, but
05:33I want him around to see him.
05:40I want him to see me fully fulfilled and not pass before any of those things happen.
05:46I love him and I owe him my whole life.
05:50I love you too, man.
05:51Thanks, man.
05:53My mom doesn't get enough credit either.
05:54She's great.
05:55She hates being on camera, but she's a lovely little lady that I love.
06:01Tell me about the loose skin as a result of your weight loss and how you feel about it.
06:08So, because of the weight loss, I feel a lot better about who I am.
06:12I'm a more confident person, but it's more so I'm now more critical of just different things.
06:16Like the loose skin is something that I'll, like I just, like it's there.
06:20I hate it.
06:25It's literally like a suit.
06:27Like it's everywhere.
06:28It's sides.
06:29I mean, it's just my circumstances that I am living within right now.
06:35So, we've talked about or planned to have skin removal for a long time.
06:40People don't understand how expensive it is.
06:42I've posted pictures of this on Instagram and this is the one where people are like,
06:47they give their most unfiltered, ignorant, not sparing my feelings.
06:52People think they're going to tell you things like, just lose weight.
06:55Everything will be okay.
06:56Well, guess what?
06:57I lost weight.
06:58Everything's not perfect because now I have this.
07:00I'm not done with my transformation here or here.
07:04Oh, I'm not perfect.
07:05I'm pretty, but I'm not perfect.
07:08I'm going to Ashley's now.
07:11Okay.
07:11Love you.
07:12Bye.
07:12Love you.
07:13Be careful.
07:14Okay.
07:16Cousin.
07:17Hi, cousin.
07:18Hi.
07:18How's it going?
07:19How are you?
07:20I'm good.
07:20How are you?
07:21I'm good.
07:23So, do you have anything planned in the near future as far as dates?
07:27Or are you dating someone consistently?
07:29I mean, I'm seeing someone, but we haven't made like the full of like, you're mine, I'm
07:35yours.
07:35It's an official thing, but I'm happy with the way things are going right now.
07:39It's the closest I've ever been to a relationship, I guess.
07:42It's just this whole other area of life that I never thought was really going to be possible.
07:47And for it to be, it's just really nice.
07:49It's scary.
07:50That dating is scary in general.
07:52I mean, I'm glad you're putting yourself out there.
07:55It's a huge thing for you.
07:56Take your time.
07:58Date multiple people.
07:59Don't tie yourself down so soon.
08:01You have a lot of time to make up for.
08:03Ultimately, you want the relationship.
08:04You want the family.
08:05You want the kids.
08:06You'll have all that.
08:07Just take your time.
08:08You'll get it.
08:10So, I'm super proud of you.
08:11There's just so much more out there to this world that I've never experienced.
08:14Now that I've gotten like a taste of it, I just don't want to stop.
08:19Good to see you.
08:20Love to talk.
08:21Love you.
08:22I'm pretty proud of myself.
08:23I really am just a normal dude that wanted more from his own life.
08:27I don't regret being that big.
08:29I appreciate the person I am today because of what I went through.
08:33It's made me very empathetic.
08:36I just want my future to feel fulfilled.
08:39I would like a family.
08:40I would like a wife.
08:41So, yeah.
08:42Just all that.
08:44Anything else you want to say?
08:46Um, love you.
08:47Mom, I love you.
08:48All my family's great.
08:50Love you all.
08:51That's it.
09:05I love you.
09:06What do you care?
09:07I'm not having you.
09:07I'm not having you.
09:08I love you.
09:08You, I love you.
09:08We love you.
09:08And I am really four.

09:09I love you.
