Former world's fattest man begs for NHS operation to remove folds of skin after losing 40 STONE

Paul Mason, 50, who weighed 60 stone two years ago, underwent a gastric bypass after he was told he otherwise faced certain death.

But he has been left with rolls of unsightly excess skin after the extreme weight loss and now needs an operation to remove the flaps hanging from his stomach, arms and legs.

 

Slimmed down: Paul Mason now weighs 30st instead of 70st but wants surgery to remove rolls of unsightly fat

 

Back on his feet: Mr Mason is now no longer bed bound, but still requires walking sticks

But Mr Mason, who can now leave the house in a motorised wheelchair, said: 'I just need a little bit more help. I feel like I have been just left high and dry. 

'I need this operation to be able to get my life back, to be able to get back into society. It is stopping me living a reasonable life.'
