At 17 years old, while most teenagers were enjoying their youth, Khaled Mohsen Al Shaeri faced a different realityâhe was confined to his bed, unable to move due to his immense weight. Tipping the scales at 609 kg, the Saudi Arabian teenager had been in this state for three years, earning the title of “The World’s Heaviest Teen.” His condition became so severe that he had to be cut out of his home and transported to a hospital for urgent medical care.
As reported by The Sun, Shaeriâs rescue was personally ordered by the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who was deeply moved by the young man’s situation.

Dr. Aaied al-Qahtani, the leader of Shaeriâs medical team, shared with Sayidaty magazine in 2014 that Shaeri’s health had significantly improved since the start of his weight loss journey. He experienced better heart and lung function, increased muscle strength, and a notable reduction in inflammation.
Shaeri documented his remarkable progress, sharing video clips in 2016 that showed him walking with the help of a Zimmer frame. By 2018, he had undergone surgery to remove excess skin resulting from his dramatic weight loss.
