My stubbornness put me where I’m at. Now my energy is going to change that,” Dre said. “We got young people, grown people, old, all having this. We can prevent this. We can cure this. I have an idea how to do it.

Dre is expected to undergo weight-loss surgery in order to reverse the effects of the disease. It is a possibility that his surgery will be featured in a reality television series but that has yet to have an air date.
