December 9th, 1996. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us this segment on losing the weight and gaining life.
“Daily life of a man named Scott. In these pictures, Scott was at his top weight, tipping the scales at over 750 pounds…”
We see Scott previously appearing on the show as he describes being a prisoner in his own body. After his first appearance he felt so sad he even considered suicide, the weight just wasn’t coming off fast enough. With the support of the show and Jamie Huysman, director of the aftercare program, Scott is feeling like a whole new man — and 180 pounds lighter.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
