A MARINE who underwent a double arm transplant has spoken of how the operation changed his life – and of his fear that one day he may have to have his new limbs "re-amputated". John Peck, 33, of Bethesda, Washington, lost both legs and one arm after stepping on the pressure plate of an improvised explosive device (IED) in Afghanistan in May, 2010 – and the remaining arm had to be removed soon after he arrived home after he contracted a flesh-eating fungus. He felt into a depression and become secluded, shunning therapy and even devising a plan to end it all. But John managed to turn it around and in 2016 met the love of his life, wife Jessica, and was the recipient of a bilateral arm transplant. And now John has signed up with a public speaking bureau and written an autobiography, Rebuilding Sergeant Peck, in order to try and reach out to other people in need. The Man With Another Man's Arms airs at 10pm on Monday April 8 on Channel 5.
