Obese Dad's 21-Stone Transformation for Kids

A 31-year-old father has dramatically transformed his life, losing 21 stone after undergoing gastric bypass surgery in October 2025. He reached a peak weight of 37 stone 2lbs, which severely limited his ability to leave home or socialise.

Motivated by a desire to be an active parent, he joined a weight-loss program and subsequently opted for surgery. He now weighs 16 stone 5lbs and feels like a new man, able to fully engage with his three children.

Brendan Broadhead, from Leeds, shared that the decision was difficult but ultimately for his kids. He now plays football with his son and has even launched a football team for men struggling with weight. He hopes to reach a healthy BMI range.
