My Big New Year Resolution - World's Fattest Man Reveals (Photo)

Speaking while answering questions during a press conference at a hospital in Guadalajara, Mexico on December 21, 2016, a Mexican man known as Juan Pedro, who is believed to be the world's most obese human, has revealed his new year resolution.

It was gathered that Franco, who suffers from extreme obesity and has been confined to bed for 6-years, unable to walk, is being assessed by doctors, will begin a special diet and exercise routine with the aim to lose 59 kilograms before undergoing a by-pass biliopancreatic diversion in two times in June 2017.

According to Economic Times, the 32-year-old man who has high blood pressure and chronic lung obstruction, plans to undergo gastric bypass to reduce his 1,300 pounds by half, his doctor, Jose Castaneda said on Wednesday.

He disclosed further that Pedro needs to reduce his weight dramatically to reduce his health risks, adding that he would undergo a couple procedures along the way.

"It's surgery that is going to be done in two parts. That is because of the high risk of complications he faces. So it's going to be done in two parts, six months apart," Castaneda told reporters.

In the first procedure, surgeons will remove more than three-quarters of the patient's stomach.

And in the second procedure, his remaining stomach will be partially blocked, helping to give a feeling of fullness. Juan Pedro would also undergo intestinal surgery, his doctor said.

Castaneda wants him to lose 59 kilos in the first six months, which alone reduces his risk of obesity-related cancer by 52 percent.

Juan Pedro, 32, has a good chance of losing half his body weight by about six months after his first surgery, according to his medical team. "Slowly but surely, I'll get there," Juan Pedro told reporters.
