‘Looking forward to normal life after losing 46 stone’

A man once dubbed the world’s fattest says he is looking forward to a normal life after shedding 46 stone.

Former postman Paul Mason, from Ipswich in the UK, weighed in at 70 stone before a gastric bypass in 2010 to reduce the size of his stomach.

He now weighs 24 stone but says he needs further surgery, costing up to £37,000 (€45,000), to remove the huge folds of loose skin.
