Paul Wall recently underwent gastric surgery to lose weight.
“I was like ‘Man, I’m morbidly obese, I need to do something. Man, I got to save my life.’ “
After failed attempts to drop major weight from living an abusive lifestyle, Paul Wall was forced to undergo surgery to save his life.
In an interview with BallerStatus.com, the rapper revealed that he had reached 320 lbs and was considered to be “morbidly obese” by his doctors.
Trying to shed the fat the usual way, nothing worked so he was resorted to his only other choice.
“I tried doing it the legit way. I stopped sippin’ “syrup, stopped taking pills … all that, but it ain’t work.”
The rapper further elaborated on his final decision and how it basically saved his life in the end.
“[The surgery] saved my life for real,” he explained. “I really didn’t have too much of a choice, because the doctor told me I was morbidly obese. So, I really didn’t have a choice.”
Now back in Hip-Hop and feeling more physically healthy, the Houston native is prepping for his next solo release Heart Of A Champion, set to drop July 13 with features such as Jay Electronica, Raekwon and others along with production from the Neptunes and Travis Barker.
