'I couldn't fit on Disneyland rides - I knew something had to change...
my trip was ruined' (Image: SWNS) A Brit who was too large to enjoy the thrills of Disney World has shed an incredible 16 stone , transforming his life. Ben Clark, a 35-year-old from Manchester, once weighed over 30 stone and struggled with a waist measuring between 48 to 50 inches. His wake-up call came during a holiday in Orlando, Florida, US , in September 2022, when he found himself unable to fit on the theme park's rides.
Determined to make a change, Ben flew to Poland in October for gastric sleeve surgery, investing £5,000 in the operation, which included the cost of flights and medication. The result was a life-changing weight loss of 16st 7lbs, allowing him to not only enjoy the rides but also to step into his dream role as Prince Charming in a production of Cinderella at Taylor Hall, St Lawrence College in Kent. Ben, who works as a level manager at Co-Op Live, shared: "I couldn't go on some of the rides because I couldn't fit.
