Big Hoss from Pawn Stars

Corey Harrison, known as “Big Hoss” on his family’s History Channel show Pawn Stars, has lost the amazing amount of 115 pounds over the past 5 months! Big Hoss is the grandson of Richard Harrison and son of Rick Harrison, owners of the Las Vegas  Gold and Silver Pawn Shop where the show is based. According to People magazine, Corey realized his weight was out of control when he weighed 365 pounds and his doctor had diagnosed him as being pre-diabetic.

“I was watching this lawyer’s commercial and it was talking about the side effects of this drug, and I was on that medication because of my weight. I went and got a Lap-Band put in and the weight just started falling off. It was like someone took a backpack full of rocks off of you.”

Big Hoss underwent the Lap-Band procedure in February 2011, and in conjunction with a high protein diet and working out with a trainer 5 days a week has posted his remarkable weight loss. His father, Rick, has also had a gym put into the pawn shop to allow the workouts to fit into his busy schedule.
