When John Allaire got engaged to Caila, decide that he will put his heart dedicatedly into the relationship; and the foundation of this never-ending relationship should begin with him losing weight.

“Even though Caila loved me as I was, and she was ready to commit to marrying me at 540 pounds, I was like, “There is no way that I can, in good conscience, drag this woman through the difficulties that I am going to go through the rest of my life if I don’t lose weight” said Allaire.

When John recalled his past life, he realized that he was basically making the food a way to handle the stress in his life. Food became a stress buster for Allaire beginning with his parent’s divorce and then the deteriorating health of his father. Allaire’s eating habit took a toll when his father passes away. By the time he was 18, he had become ghastly obese and started struggling with his huge weight.

Allaire had grown so big by the time he was in his 20s that he needed to scale himself using the commercial weighing scale. However, this doesn’t stop him from adding more pounds to his body weight.

“It has been a long and grinding process. For the last year and a half, I have put in work every single day towards losing the weight. Even when I chose to take rest days, nothing was done without clear intention to succeed. The results of this laser focus? Losing 297.4 pounds since August 2016. Overall, 317 pounds since my heaviest” said John Allaire.

While after his one and a half year’s sheer efforts, John was back to ideal weight, however, his skin yet needed to get back to in its place. He was going to shed extra 13 pounds of excess skin by getting it removed surgically. In order to arrange the fund for the surgery, John launched a GoFundMe account online.

Allaire’s wife, Caila commented on the surgery by saying that – “I think his loose skin affects him in a lot of different ways. The surgery is just going to improve his overall quality of life. He’s finally going to feel completely free — there’s not going to be any baggage from his obesity”.

John Allaire’s 10-hour skin removing surgery got completed successfully in March which made him lose the extra bulk of skin from his torso and arms. While his upper half is absolutely normal, he is yet to go for another surgery to remove the extra skin from his lower body.

“Having the skin gone has been a weird experience. Now it’s becoming a great experience, but for a while, it was kind of weird.”
