News in a flash—Muhtadi Ghannam, lost a total of 345 lbs in weight by sheer courage and determination. Ghannam, 33, was obese for as long as he can remember and peaked to an absolute gross lardy plumpness of 530 lbs when he was 31 years old. Inspired after watching a random inspirational video that one of his "in between jobs" acquaintances posted on Facebook, Ghannam decided to go under the knife and face all the nasty surgeries to get rid of fat so morbid that some doctors described it to be "attached to his soul". He turned up to a dangerous total of 34 Liposuctions and body-reshaping surgical procedures without hesitation despite his doctor's dissuasions and warnings. Now weighing just 185 lbs and in delicate, slightly serious, life-threatening condition, Ghannam has been an inspiration to all obese people to draw courage, spend a lifetime's savings to surgery, and achieve the desired weight that was once just a distant dream.
