He says that he has gained a lot more energy from his weight loss, and the back pains that plagued him for a long time are history. With new energy, Kuhta has also applied to become an apartment salesman.
– Without the surgery, I would never have been able to start such a thing. I had such terrible back pain that I couldn’t do everyday chores. When I took the trash out to the trash, I felt like I had already done the day’s work, he says.
Before the change, Kuhta’s blood pressure was high. Thanks to the weight loss, it has decreased to a normal level and night sleep has improved. The tingling in restless legs has also eased a little.
– I have got my life back. It got to the point where I started to go home. I didn’t even want to move when it was so painful. My body became a problem, and I didn’t want to go anywhere to show off either, says Kuhta.

The mirror image makes me think

When Kuhda is asked how he has dealt with his distorted body image, he has a quick answer.
