Mark’s weight loss journey after the gastric bypass has been truly remarkable.
Mark Reid grew up being physically active, playing football, basketball and doing track and field athletics. He had a career as a music artist together with his brothers in the group Reid (remember them? Check out their popular most songs here and here!) -life was on a roll. After the career with Reid, Mark went on to write music for other artists.
The accident and the weight gain
In 1998, at age 32, everything changed. In an everyday accident Mark falls on a slippery surface in a parking lot, lands awkwardly on his back and twists his legs in the fall. The result is damage to both knees and weeks immobilized in plaster. No more working out 2-4 times a week.
And now Mark’s life and health takes a turn for the worse. He gains weight gradually and tries “all” diets available. Nothing works. By 2012 he weighs 162 kg (equals 25 st.7lb. or 357 lb) and the self esteem is very low. The next year type 2 diabetes sets in.
Mark knows his father died early of an acute heart attack in 1992, and now fears what may be happening in the future for himself? These fears are reinforced in a doctor’s visit in 2019, where the doc bluntly states “I have seen this before. You will die early”. (This physician offers no treatment options for the obesity problem, however.)
