Hey guys, I'm Ky from Peachy Planet!
I hope you enjoy today's video on the 7 heaviest children in the world.
And if you enjoy the video, stay tuned till the end for scenes from my channel.
Number 7: Suman Khatun Her father only earned $15/week, and most
of the money was spent on satisfying the girl’s insatiable appetite.
Many times there would be little food left for him, his wife and Suman’s 2 other regular-sized
siblings.
Every week, the 9-year-old would reportedly eat 30 pounds of rice, 17 pounds of potatoes,
and 180 bananas.
According to Beli Bibi, the girl’s mother, Suman would often finish a typical lunch consisting
of large plates of fried fish, 2 bowls of rice, 2 omelettes, and 2 fried eggs and still
be hungry.
At that point she would go to the neighbors across the street and ask them for more food.
Bibi added that her daughter was constantly hungry and cried all the time.
A local doctor was contacted to help the family manage Suman’s weight.
Hypherthyroidism is among the suspected factors behind the girl’s condition.
Number 6: Sumo Kids 3 overweight
siblings from Gujarat, India,
also known as
the "Sumo Kids,"
drew the media's attention due to their massive weights at very young ages.
According to their father Rameshbai, the 35-year-old laborer compared his childrens'
bellies to an “abyss,”
and also stated that they demanded food constantly and would scream and cry incessantly wherever there was a delay.
In June of 2016, 6-year-old Yogita weighed 81 pounds, 4-year-old Anisha weighed 123 pounds,
and the youngest brother Harsh tipped the scale at
44 pounds.
The man would dig wells
and work overtime
in the fields to make sure that the children
are fed. Medical experts believe that their fast weight-gain may be attributed to an endocrinal disease
called Prader-Willi syndrome.
This genetic disease is characterized by a constant desire to eat food, reduce muscle tone,
face learning difficulties, lack sect usual development, and experience behavioral
problems such as stubbornness or temper tantrums.
Number 5: Lu Hao By the time he was three years old, Lu Hao
weighed around 127 pounds.
Lu Hao’s routine mainly consisted of sleeping, sitting, and eating.
The child was born weighing a perfectly healthy 5.7 pounds.
After turning three months old, however, his weight began increasing as his appetite grew
larger with each passing week.
According to his parents, Lu Hao kept gaining weight despite their efforts to restrict his
diet or push him to exercise more.
Because of Lu Hao’s size, his mother Chen Yuan could no longer pick him up.
Yuncheng, the father, had to take the him to kindergarten on his motorcycle.
The family installed a basketball hoop and would often take the boy to swim in the local
river.
However, the more Lu Hao exercised, the hungrier he got and the more he would eat.
Whenever he did not receive the amount of food he wanted, he would begin crying and
would not stop until he was given more food.
His parents took him to several medical professionals, concerned that if he kept gaining weight his
heart would fail.
1 of the 3 hospitals they visited told them that the boy had a tumor in his head, while
the other 2 did not find any evidence of a tumor.
Lu Hao’s hormone levels were also in the normal parameters.
His parents also worried about the boy’s self-esteem and that he would get bullied
once he got older.
According to the latest reports, Lu Hao’s parents had contacted a specialized center
in Hong Kong that offered to help the boy lose weight for free.
Number 4: Justin Painter Joyce, the boy’s mother, first began noticing
that her son had a weight problem when he was 3 years old.
Over the course of 4 years, she took Justin to several doctors, who did not find any medical
explanation whatsoever for his rapid weight-gaining tendency.
They advised his mother to implement an exercise schedule and a rigorous diet plan.
The North Carolina woman insisted that she did not allow her son to snack and that, whenever
the boy would have a meal, she would prepare just 1 plate of food for him that also included
vegetables.
In 2007, the woman was reported to Child Protective Services.
Joyce was given 2 months to improve the situation or the boy would be removed from her care
and placed in a foster home.
Even though Justin had lost 14 pounds, the Department of Social Services took temporary
custody of him following a disagreement with the boy’s mother regarding an operation
Justin required on his knees.
Later reports indicate that Joyce had managed to regain custody of her son, and that the
weight monitoring programs he had been placed under were proving to be effective.
Number 3: Dzhambulat Khatokhov At a height of 4 feet, 3 inches tall, the
boy had a staggering body mass index of 70.
Ever since his birth, his body had reportedly steadily gained over half a pound every week,
eventually weighing as much as a baby elephant.
When he was 8 years old, Dzhambulat and his mother went to Japan to participate in a Fuji
Television program called “Impossible.”
His mother was accused of purposefully fueling her son’s massive growth rate so that she
could live off his fame.
She denied these claims and stated that she simply supported his dream of becoming a sumo
wrestler.
The boy made appearances on numerous Russian television shows, but gained international
recognition through an episode of the UK Channel 4 series “BodyShock” entitled “World’s
Biggest Boy.”
Ian Campbell, one of the world’s leading obesity experts, performed several tests on
him at a clinic in Moscow in 2008.
The tests revealed that the 9-year-old’s bones were the size of an average 15-year-old
boy’s.
His growth rate remained a mystery, as all the tests for Anna bowl lick stair Roy's produced
negative results.
The BodyShock episode shows Campbell and other healthcare experts urging Nelya Khatokhov,
the boy’s mother, to change his diet and make efforts in helping him lose weight, as
his health was in danger.
She refused to follow their advice, insisting that her son was healthy and had the ability
of becoming a sportsman.
Later reports indicated that at 16 years old, Dzhambulat’s weight had increased to 498
pounds.
Number 2: Jessica Leonard She had already had a body mass index of 56
when she was just 12 months old.
She weighed 200 pounds by the time she was 4 years old.
Aside from a number of health issues, the girl also suffered from bone deterioration,
causing her to have to roll on the floor of her house, waddle on her butt, or be moved
around in a wheelchair.
According to her mother, she would consume tens of thousands of calories every day.
Whenever her mother tried controlling her diet, Jessica would reportedly throw tantrums.
One day, the 1-year-old from Tennessee was rushed to the hospital in critical condition,
as she was unable to breathe.
Doctors were shocked by the girl’s weight, and child services decided that immediate
action needed to be taken in order to prevent the child from succumbing to health problems
associated with morbid obesity.
Jessica’s mother was taken to parenting classes to learn how to help her daughter
deal with her struggle of losing weight.
Thus, Jessica was sent to an obesity camp in Virginia.
With the help of professionals, Jessica had managed to lose 320 pounds by the time she
was 10 without surgical intervention.
The only surgery she would need was one to remove the 20 pounds of excess skin she was
left with.
Number 1: Arya Permana According to his mother, Rokaya, Arya was
“perpetually hungry.”
He would complain of shortness of breath and would constantly be tired.
Most of his daily activities consisted of eating and sleeping.
When he was not doing that, the 10-year-old would reportedly lie for hours in the small
swimming pool his family had in front of their house.
Arya was born via natural birth, weighing a normal 7 pounds.
But he had already gained weight at an abnormal rate by the time he was 2.
His parents said they were happy that their son was fuller and were not worried initially.
Even though he was fatter than the other children in the village, they considered him to be
a happy, healthy child.
By 2016, however, Arya could no longer attend school, as he was able to take only a few
steps before losing his balance.
He would already be exhausted after only 5 minutes of walking.
Normal clothes no longer fit him either, and he was reduced to just wearing a sarong to
cover his body.
Because of his size, the boy had a limited range of motion and would need his mother’s
help during bathing and other activities concerning personal hygiene.
Ade Somantri, the boy’s father, a farmer who made around $125/month, reportedly struggled
financially because of the large amount of food he needed to buy daily.
Arya’s parents would often need to borrow money for food in order to satisfy their son’s
huge appetite.
Rokaya and Ade soon realized he required medical attention.
They took him to a number of doctors in the village, who apparently did not consider his
alarming weight to be abnormal.
Doctors advised the family to take him to better hospitals if they believed he was not
healthy.
Increasingly more concerned about their son’s wellbeing, his parents placed him on a crash
diet in hopes of limiting the amount of food that he ate everyday.
Arya’s diet consisted of eating only brown rice, which was successful in reducing his
weight and allowing him to return to school.
Despite diet plan's partial success, Arya’s continued hunger—as well as other medical
concerns brought about by his abnormal weight—led to him having sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
Through this irreversible procedure, a large portion of his stomach along the great curvature
was removed, resulting in a sleeve- or tube-like structure.
The surgery was successful, Arya’s stomach was permanently reduced in size, and he lost
44 pounds.
