800-pound patient seeks bypass surgery in Virginia
A North Carolina man weighing about 800 pounds checks into Medical College of Virginia Hospital for an intestinal bypass. Doctors say he must lose 200 to 300 pounds before surgery is possible and he will require long term treatment before evaluation. A prior bypass on Pete Al Hirt in 1972 trimmed his weight from 333 to 260 pounds in seven months.
