After deciding enough was enough, he befriended another boy who wanted to lose weight and the pair motivated each other follow a low carb diet and exercise every day for a year. Creekman’s hard work paid off when the pounds dropped off him, but left with excess skin he then had skin removal surgery which left him with scars, which he spent $30,000 on covering up with tattoos including one of a skull on his stomach.
