A plastic surgeon in the US has offered to operate on a British man once dubbed the world's fattest.
At his heaviest, Paul Mason weighed 70 stone (444kg) and was bed bound at his bungalow in Ipswich, Suffolk.
He now weighs about 24 stone (152kg) after gastric bypass surgery in 2010 but says his life is being hampered by a huge amount of excess skin.
New York-based surgeon Dr Jennifer Capla said she was willing to donate her time to help Mr Mason.
In May, Mr Mason, 52, released photographs of his naked body as part of his plea for medical help.
