842-Lb. Man Dies of a Heart Attack While Readying for Weight Loss Surgery on My 600-Lb. Life
He had successfully lost nearly 200 lbs.
Robert Buchel, an 842-lb. man who had hoped to undergo life-saving weight loss surgery with the help of TLC’s My 600-Lb. Life, has died of a heart attack at the age of 41.
Buchel, 41, was the subject of Wednesday night’s episode of the reality show, and had successfully lost nearly 200 lbs. after moving with his fiancé, Kathryn Lemanski, from New Jersey to Houston. But his addiction to painkillers derailed surgeon Dr. Younan Nowzaradan’s efforts to help, and Buchel passed away on Nov. 15, 2017.
In a statement to PEOPLE, TLC said they were “deeply saddened” by his loss.
They added: “We are grateful to his family who were gracious enough to let us continue to share his brave story with our viewers. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this difficult time.”
Lemanski wrote on Facebook that Buchel struggled knowing that his life wasn’t going the way he had hoped.
“Rob suffered from never realizing how good a man he was and always felt inadequate and a failure,” she wrote two days after his death. “Thank you to all of you for validating my love for him. I knew what kind of soul he had but could never convince him of how truly special he was. A person like him should never have to die this way and certainly not this young and most definitely not when his life was about to begin.”
Lemanski added that Buchel was becoming optimistic for his future after losing weight in the hospital.
“Rob had a hard life, and in the last two months he finally had hope for the life he always wanted,” she said.
A friend of Lemanski’s created a GoFundMe page to raise money for Buchel’s medical bills and funeral costs, and to help her move back to New Jersey.
“Kathryn incurred a crushing debt, between medical bills and moving expenses, only to have to pack up, turn around and move back,” they wrote. “Kathryn is one of the most selfless and giving individuals one could ever meet, she is well deserving of any help that can be offered.”
News24.com | Maimane: The Ramaphosa honeymoon is over
Secunda – The intoxicating effects of “Ramaphoria” following the swearing in of President Cyril Ramaphosa are wearing off just as quickly as they appeared, DA leader Mmusi Maimane said on Saturday.
Maimane was addressing the party’s Mpumalanga Provincial Congress. He said he had not expected that it would have happened so soon.
“But this must surely go down in history as one of the shortest honeymoons ever,” he said.
Maimane said he stood by his offer made to Ramaphosa during the State of the Nation Debate, where he had offered to work with him where actions were in the interest of the country and its people.
Maimane said Ramaphosa had however revealed his true character, with the appointment of David Mabuza as deputy president.
“He has [also] kept a rump of corrupt, captured ministers in his Cabinet,” he said.
Maimane proceeded to list all Mabuza’s scandals.
“The man who now occupies the office of the Deputy President, David Mabuza, ran Mpumalanga like a mob boss runs his city,” he said.
“Anyone of the many scandals linked to David Mabuza should have been enough to remove him from office. But we have learnt the hard way in this country that scandals alone don’t end careers, as long as you’re connected to the right people.”
“President Ramaphosa has fallen at the first hurdle. He should have put DD Mabuza in prison, not in the Presidency,” he said.
Maimane said more concerning though, was the apparent indications that Ramaphosa had given in to populists in his own party and the Economic Freedom Fighters regarding land.
“Today in our country, the values which underpin our Constitution, and which have formed the bedrock of our national consensus since 1994 are under attack,” he said.
“The DA is now the only party left that is prepared to come to the defence of our country’s founding values. For these are also our values. And just as we stood for these values through the darkest days of apartheid, so must we rise to fight for them again now.”
Sport24.co.za | Try-hungry Lions leap clear in group
Rob Houwing, Sport24 chief writer
Cape Town – Three matches … 18 tries.
The Lions may have lost the likes of popular former head coach Johan Ackermann and his blind-side bruiser son Ruan to considerably chillier climes, but some things stay agreeably the same for them in 2018 thus far.
Psst, and possibly even have the potential to get better?
Under the new head tutelage of Swys du Bruin, the Johannesburg-based franchise, losing finalists in both 2016 and 2017, have made about as sprightly, and statement-making, a start to their roster as their fans could have wished for.
There are many rivers yet to cross, but the Lions have vaulted swiftly into a nine-point lead in the South African conference from the next-best Stormers after three outings each, and averaging a rosy six tries a match.
That comfortable situation follows their 49-35 bonus-point victory over Highveld neighbours the Bulls at Loftus on Saturday, a result that had been put to bed well before a spirited late surge by John Mitchell’s rebuilding outfit closed the gap on the scoreboard a fair bit.
By dotting down seven times (to four), the Lions emulated their tally against the Jaguares in the Big Smoke a week earlier, and their most “try shy” date has been the opener against the Sharks (also won, 26-19) when they pressed four.
What was especially impressive about their latest triumph, though, was how effectively they turned “industrial” at times against the traditionally no-nonsense Bulls, a policy that still produced a handful of rumbling, mauling tries amidst their more fluid moments.
Springbok hooker Malcolm Marx was often at the fulcrum of such drives, only confirming that he is one of the most powerful tight forwards on the planet at close quarters, whilst the experiment of switching tireless lock Franco Mostert to the cares of the No 7 jersey was also a success of note.
The platform laid in the engine room ensured that halfback combo Ross Cronje and Elton Jantjies were allowed the luxury of time and space to dictate matters behind the scrum.
If the Lions manage to merge their pack physicality and work ethic with slick backline activity all over again when the Blues come to Johannesburg next weekend, the reasonably limited New Zealanders (nought from two in their own conference) will be just another team who battle to live with them.
As for the Bulls, their intended revolution was never going to happen with the click of the fingers, and they demonstrated enough at times before a much-improved Loftus crowd of 21 000 to remind that a pronounced improvement on last season is well within their grasp even if title (or just conference-ruling) aspirations may have to wait another couple of years.
They never allowed their heads to sink to their chests in the high-paced derby, and will also rue the fact that a big turning point came when they had two players sin-binned simultaneously, which wreaked havoc with their shape at a time when they were hanging in well.
But to add to the productive day for the Lions, domestic rivals the Sharks – tipped by many in pre-season, including this writer, to run them close or even eclipse them in 2018 – again had a slip-up of sorts in an earlier Saturday slot.
Considering how woeful the Waratahs had been last year, the 24-24 draw with the visitors from Sydney must be considered “two points dropped” by Robert du Preez’s charges, even if the ‘Tahs competed with admirable zest in the gruelling KZN warmth.
It is now absolutely vital that they get a first win beneath their belts, at the third attempt, when they entertain the humble Sunwolves at Kings Park next Saturday – anything less would be a disaster, frankly.
The Sharks were a curious mix of the very good and very bad, producing bursts of lovely hand-to-hand play – impressive midfielder Lukhanyo Am crossed the whitewash twice – but also making too many elementary errors, sometimes under little or no pressure.
As for the Stormers, their Australasian tour woes only deepened as they were comfortably seen off by the Crusaders, the defending champions, and lost another of their senior Springbok locks to injury (muscleman Eben Etzebeth is still sidelined) when Pieter-Steph du Toit went off on the buggy with concussion and an apparent neck issue.
But they will be kicking themselves for the rugby version of a horrible oversleep: they went 26-0 down in a 19-minute whirlwind from the kick-off, and you are never going to claw back such a deficit in the Crusaders’ backyard.
In that time – commentator Tony Johnson called it “a bit of a clinic” from the ruthlessly capitalising ‘Saders – the Capetonians made a comedic catalogue of awful errors in various forms.
So it must have been almost irritating for their long-suffering fans that they actually grew quite nicely into the game after the early blitzkrieg; 45-28 as final score had once threatened to be immeasurably worse.
Nevertheless, would you bet on them, in the quick turnaround to Friday, to engineer a lone, tour-closing win against the Highlanders? No, probably not …
Next weekend’s fixtures (home teams first, all kick-offs SA time):
Friday, March 9
Highlanders v Stormers – 08:35
Rebels v Brumbies – 10:45
Saturday, March 10
Hurricanes v Crusaders – 08:35
Reds v Bulls – 10:45
Sharks v Sunwolves – 15:05
Lions v Blues – 17:15
Jaguares v Waratahs – 23:40
Bye: Chiefs

eNCA | Mbalula: ANC open to a coalition with EFF
JOHANNESBURG – ANC NEC member, Fikile Mbalula says the ANC is willing to hold coalition talks with the Economic Freedom Fighters party.
The EFF commented earlier this week that the party would vote with the ANC to unseat DA mayor Athol Trollip in Nelson Mandela Bay on condition former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas is the mayoral candidate.
Mbalula was speaking in Boksburg where he’s chairing the ANC national elections workshop.
“The ANC is open to a discussion with the EFF, as to the details in relation to what has been pronounced will be a subject of discussion” said Mbalula.
“ANC will be open for such a discussion. We believe that what has happened in Nelson Mandela Bay has reversed the gains made by the ANC,” he sad.
He said should an opportunity arise for ANC to accelerate transformation, the ANC is open to that.
“We’re not going to close doors to a discussion. We did speak to EFF and you know what they said. We have always been open to talk question of the coalition particularly on the metros,” Mbalula said.

Health24.com | How to take care of your testicles
Don’t just take care of the rest of yourself, take care of your balls too. Here are six facts about the proper care and handling of your boys:
1. Keep them cool
A laptop on your lap raises your balls’ temp, which may harm sperm quality, a fertility and sterility study found. Set devices on a table, says MH urology advisor Dr Larry Lipshultz.
2. Eye their size
Older men with a testicular volume of 20 millilitres or more risk heart troubles, a Journal of Sexual Medicine study reports. The authors say blood vessel damage may up testes size.

3. Move your phone
Numerous studies have linked cellphone exposure to decreased sperm count and quality. So keep your phone in your back pocket instead of in the front one, says Dr Lipshultz.
4. Hit the sack
Less sleep means more stress hormones, which can sap sperm production, says Tobias Köhler, an associate Professor of urology at Southern Illinois University.

5. Get a safe snip
A vasectomy won’t cause erectile dysfunction, a new study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found. That is, unless you have sex within 72 hours. The possible pain or bleeding could leave you limp.

6. Kill spiders
Dilated veins in your scrotum, which are similar to spider veins, may cause infertility and testicular shrinkage, says Köhler. Schedule an appointment with a urologist.
