Former sumo champion Konishiki arrived back in Japan recently for the first time after undergoing gastric bypass surgery in February.

Since the operation Konishiki has shed 70 kilograms (144 pounds), from a high of 300 kilograms (660 pounds).

Though we would like to congratulate Konishiki on his weight loss and wish him the best in the future, we must admit that he still looks pretty hefty in the above “after” photo.
