Jorge Antonio Moreno Gayt?n, a 34-year-old Mexican man, lives with his parents in Puebla, Mexico. He was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome at age seven. He weighs 136 kilos (300 pounds) and stands 152 centimeters (4 feet 12 inches). Jorge is in the process of getting bariatric surgery. As a teenager, he would pawn his siblings' belongings in order to have money to buy food. He was also known to leave restaurants without paying. "Our worst enemy is hunger, it's what will kill us", Jorge says. He is now part of a sports team for people with disabilities. He has been in a relationship for 11 years with, Maria Guadalupe Pilar Saucedo Granda, known as "Lupita', also diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in chromosome 15. In?newborns?symptoms include?weak muscle tone (hypotonia), poor appetite and slow development.
