Man mountain Paul Mason plans to sue the NHS – claiming they ignored his plight as he rocketed towards 70 stone.

Paul – once the world’s fattest man – vowed to use any compo to help other patients who need weight-loss ops.

The 50-year-old, of Ipswich, said he begged his local NHS trust for help at 30st.

But the medic he consulted in 1996 told him: “Ride your bike more.”

When the former postman hit 64st he asked to see an eating disorders specialist, but was sent to a dietician.

He had life-saving gastric surgery last year and is now a relatively slim 37st.

Paul said: “I want to set a precedent so no one else has to get to the same size – and to put something back into society.”
