"my next surgery” – Flex Wheeler

[Gym-Rat]

https://www.evolutionofbodybuilding.net/surgery-flex-wheeler/

I’ve a major back surgery coming up and that’s going to be pretty intensive. I’ll be really cutting clear about it. They’re not even sure if I’ll be able to make it through that surgery or the recovery. But it’s something I have to do because I can’t endure the pain anymore,” Flex Wheeler said.

“The tube that they put down your throat to help you breathe while you’re unconscious, unfortunately did a lot of damage to my throat. So, Monday morning I had to call emergency. They brought me in and immediately the EMT said you’re not going to make it tomorrow. We’re definitely going to keep you for 24 hours.”

And yet, in his mid 40's our future superstar, with no genetic potential of winning a local show let alone going pro.............thinks it's all worth it, and still looks to Don Youngblood as his role model.

What a shame.

Hope things work out for Flex.  He seems very much more humble even b4 losing his legs, so I hope he makes it through to still be able to work, and provide for his family.  The BBing community is always interested in what he has to say still.

It is depressing to watch. I read that at one point he had 16 cars or something.

He made enough money to sock away a million dollars.

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only Getbigger who ACTUALLY did that. 

Seriously, WTF is wrong with people, wanting to work shitty 9 to 5's for some reasons? I don't get why they don't just sock away a measly $1M to $2M, and live off that.

Some people don't earn enough money to do that, but Flex DEFINITELY did. And he's broke.

He's losing more and more parts. Bodybuilding is supposed to add not subtract.

Is he still married to Madeline? That seemed like a strange couple. She looked like someone who would marry a (rich) white dude.

Legs plural..!?!  No way - I knew his bicep had collapsed and disappeared, but not another leg too..?  Jesus - Sultan of Asymmetry or what!?

Better to live pedal to the metal as a thong warrior and have your body slowly whittled away piece by piece until you are a mere limbless stump, endure excruciating pain through countless operations including having a breathing tube rammed down your throat that ruins your esophagus, than to live a long, healthy life with family and enduring friendships with Getbiggers.

I would imagine your protocol is closer to Flex than mine again Flex's health problems have nothing to do with me

The fool is an absolute mess.

In all honesty, it’s tragic.

He’s still a reasonably young man, and his body is wrecked, inside and out.

Was a complete tool in the ‘90s, but at this point I actually do feel sympathy for him.

To go from comic-book physique to a trashed gimp with faltering organs is brutal.

It is worthy of sympathy. I normally like Rise and Fall stories...but more like in fiction, like Scarface. Not so much real life stories with actual living, breathing [barely] human beings.

Yes- it is one of the most powerful painkillers out there. I had it for kidney stones. The downside is they can't give it to you too frequently or you stop breathing. That's the ultimate reality.

WTF happened to his bicep?  Any photos?

Again everyone says it's harmless but that synthol shit is going to cause circulation and blood flow issues and I don't believe it doesn't cause kidney damage either. He was also shooting it into his calves you know like the one he had to have amputated wouldn't be surprised if his arm was fucked from it as well

[Marty Champions]

He just needs collard green shakes how can a man put all his faith in doctors ill never understand

Who said it's harmless?
