Former 450kg man pledges new lifestyle

A man who once weighed more than 450kg may soon leave a hospital after shedding more than 204kg.

Nebraskan Patrick Deuel, 42, said he wasn't worried about returning to a former lifestyle of overeating. He will have health aides at home and a doctor will check on him regularly.

Deuel lost 190.5kg by exercise and a 1200-calorie-a-day diet before surgery for a gastric bypass.
