Katie Price is resorting to desperate measures to help her son Harvey, 22, with his escalating health issues. Harvey's weight has soared to an alarming 30 stone, placing him at severe risk of suffering a heart attack. During an episode of 'The Katie Price Show', Katie did not hold back regarding Harvey's health. "He's just under 30st and that's huge," Katie disclosed. "He's on the verge of a heart attack. He won't have a long life if he carries on putting more and more weight on."
Katie is throwing herself into efforts to manage Harvey's weight gain, working hand-in-hand with medical experts. "That's obviously a massive worry for me, but we're doing something about it with the doctors," she stated. Revealing plans to start treatment with Mounjaro, which aids weight reduction, Katie reported they are poised to begin this potentially life-saving medication, reports the Mirror.
Confronted with Harvey's complex health conditions and the myriad medications he requires, Katie acknowledged the road to recovery is fraught with complications. "Because of his complex needs and medications he's on, things aren't as easy," she confessed.
Optimistic about the future, she expressed her enthusiasm for the impact the medication will have on Harvey's condition, stating: "I can't imagine Harvey in two years when he's started Mounjaro and has lost a lot of weight."
Sharing her anxiety on Snapchat, Katie stated: "I'm so heartbroken and gutted that his weight is just going up. I just googled it in stones, 188kg is just a few kg of being 30 stone. It's so life-threatening now, I'm still waiting for the doctors to get back to me starting on the Mounjaro and his journey to a healthy life."
The mother expressed her concerns, "It's so sad his quality of life at the moment where he's so big, he just can't really do much. It's just another thing I have to deal with because he's at high risk of having a heart attack, he struggles to put his trainers or struggles to walk anywhere but I love him and I'm going to help him through this."
She lamented further, "So sad, obesity and his condition is sad, it's sad to see someone go through it and he doesn't understand."
Describing the challenge and the new approach to The Sun, Katie shared, "The good thing about starting him on the drug is, if it has any effect, you can stop it because you do it weekly.
"We've tried food, he's had dietitians, it's just the way he is. And he's on a lot of medication which the drug won't affect. They want to try him on it for at least one or two years, which is a long time, but they'll control what level he needs then up it as they assess it."
