Weight loss story: Doctor told this man to change his lifestyle or he ‘won’t have much time left’

Aman Khan once weighed a whopping 162 kg. “It was an ordinary day until I collapsed at work, gasping for air. Waking up in a sterile hospital room, with a doctor listing my health issues – type-2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol – was a horrifying reality check,” he shared.

“I remember the look of worry in my family’s eyes and the doctor’s stark warning, “Change your lifestyle, or you won’t have much time left.” The guilt of causing my loved ones pain and the fear of an impending end shook me to my core. That was the jolting turning point that ignited a burning determination in me to reclaim my health,” he added, and thus began an incredible weight loss journey.
