I’m Britain’s heaviest man at nearly 50 stone – I’m unlikely to live past 40 but I’ve got one last chance to lose weight

BRITAIN’S heaviest man is to be offered radical new weight-loss jabs after doctors warned him he is running out of time.

Jason Holton, who weighs around 47 stone, will be given the Wegovy injections after previous treatments failed to work.

Past patients have seen their weight fall by 15 per cent after one year.

Jason, 33, is too big to travel to hospital so the jabs will be given at home in Camberley, Surrey.

He said: “They said they think the jabs will help but there are a number of possible injections and they need to see which one works best for me.

“I told them, ‘I’m losing my life anyway so why not give it a go.’

“I don’t want to get my hopes up as nothing they have offered has worked so far for me.

“But I know I’m running out of time and this might be my last chance to get down to a healthier weight.

“The doctor has already told me I am unlikely to live past 40.”

Jason is living at his £400,000 council bungalow in Surrey having been released from a private nursing home near London in February.

He was taken to the home in August last year after his organs failed and he had to be rushed to hospital the previous June.

It was his second collapse after The Sun revealed he was winched from his previous home above a shop by crane in October 2020.

Wegovy, also known as semaglutide, has been hailed as a wonder drug by experts.

Novo Nordisk, the Danish company behind it, says a five-year study found it can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events by 20 per cent in people who are overweight or obese.
