World's heaviest man loses 20 stone after gastric bypass surgery... but he's still the fattest

The world's heaviest man has lost more than 20 stone after having a life-saving operation.
Paul Mason, 48, now weighs 49 stone after undergoing complicated gastric bypass surgery.
But the former postman is still believed to be the world's heaviest man after his predecessor, Mexican Manuel Uribe, lost more than 45 stone so he could get married.
Crash diet: Paul Mason, 48, has lost more than 20 stone after undergoing gastric bypass surgery to staple part of his stomach
Mr Mason, who lives in Ipswich, Suffolk, had part of his stomach stapled off so that all the food he ate went into a small 'pouch', vastly restricting the amount he could eat.
Doctors put him on a crash diet to bring his weight down to a safe level so the operation could go ahead.
He was driven 143 miles in an ambulance with reinforced beds to have the operation at the specialist St Richard's Hospital in Chichester.
He will spend two weeks in hospital and will require another operation in six months.
'Paul is looking pretty well. He has lost a lot of weight, but has a lot more to lose,' an NHS source told The Sun.
'He said he has been waiting eight years for the procedure, but now that he weighs around 49 stone it's been worth the wait.
Paul Mason: Needed fork lift truck for operation
'He said his aim is to be able to get into a mobility wheelchair and eventually drive a car.'
Mr Mason ballooned to 70 stone last year on a diet of junk food - despite being looked after full time by Suffolk County Council carers.
He admitted to eating 20,000 calories a day, eight times the amount needed by an average man.
His care bill costs taxpayers an estimated £100,000 a year and is believed to have topped £1million over the last 15 years.
Firefighters had to demolish the front wall of Mr Mason's former home in Ipswich so they could drive a fork lift truck inside to lift him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed a hernia operation in 2002.
At the time he weighed 56 stone and told doctors that he was desperate to lose weight.
He ended up slimming down to 45 stone before piling the weight back on with his junk food diet.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1247624/Worlds-heaviest-man-Paul-Mason-loses-20-stone-gastric-bypass-surgery.html#ixzz0eJyU3eiy
