A man once dubbed the world's fattest has released naked pictures of himself in a desperate plea to have his excess skin removed.

Paul Mason, who once tipped the scales at 70 stone, shed an incredible 46 stone after undergoing a gastric bypass operation.

But his drastic weight loss has left him with an estimated six stone of unsightly saggy skin hanging from every part of his body.

The 52-year-old claims that the loose skin is hindering his mobility and is affecting his health as the sheer weight of the excess folds even causes the skin to split, causing ugly, painful sores.

But the NHS have insisted that his weight must be stable for at least two years before he can go under the knife again.

Mr Mason, who now weighs 24 stone, has stripped for full length photographs in a bid to show doctors why he needs the surgery straight away.

He has sent the pictures to his GP who is using them as 'evidence' to present to NHS bosses in the hope that they will release the estimated £60,000 needed for the operation.

Mr Mason, who once gorged 20,000 calories a day due to a compulsive eating disorder, believes he has six stone of loose skin which needs to be removed.

The former postman wants an initial 'aponectomy' operation to take it from around his midriff and further surgery to take it from his arms and legs.

Mr Mason who survives on benefits and lives in a specially-adapted bungalow in Ipswich, Suffolk, has already cost the taxpayer an estimated £1million in medical and care bills over the last ten years.

He believes that further surgery and aftercare could lead to a total further bill for the NHS of up to £60,000.

At a certain point it really doesn't make any difference, the skins elasticity is shot. He was well past the point of no return.
