Pawn Stars celeb Austin Lee "Chumlee" Russell, typically known as "Chumlee," has lost an extreme amount of weight following gastric sleeve surgery. He has dealt with other issues in the public eye, and until now, how much he weighed was never really a hot topic. While he wasn't thin, he always carried his weight quite well. At the height of his weight issues, Chumlee weighed 350 pounds, and was concerned about his health. Though he was trying to prioritize his weight at the time, he decided to consult a doctor about his issues, rather than continuing on his own.

Chumlee's been on Pawn Stars since its premiere in 2009, and grew up in front of cameras, while working at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada. As a childhood friend of Corey “Big Hoss” Harrison, whose family owns the store, Chumlee has been a huge part of its overall success.
