Thomas Kraut, 59, was diagnosed as obese. After 12 years, a doctor finally realized that his rapidly growing belly actually had a nearly 21-inch tumor inside.
Doctors were convinced that a Norwegian man was simply fat for 12 years — but his growing belly was actually expanding with a 60-pound malignant tumor.
“My stomach kept getting bigger. I went from doctor to doctor and in 2019 I was finally approved for a gastric sleeve,” he said.“The doctors only ever talked about being overweight and diabetes. I was given Ozempic for diabetes and before the gastric sleeve I had to attend nutrition and fitness courses for several years.”“It pressed on my stomach. It was hard and not soft, as is the case with fat,” Kraut said.
Kraut underwent a 10-hour operation to remove the huge tumor on September 26, 2023. Once removed, it weighed 60.18 pounds and measured 20.59 inches in diameter.
