Half the man I used to be
Man mountain Petr Ferinov is just half the man he used to be - after surgeons sliced an amazing 264lbs of fat from his body.
The 49-year-old patient, from Voronezh, Russia - who now tips the scales at a trimmer 19 stones - is literally half his old weight, reports Russia's Life.ru news website.
Petr - seen here before and after the four hour op - says he was so fat he could no longer sleep on his back, could barely walk and had abandoned any hope of a sex life.
Now he says he's going on a strict diet to shed another few pounds to get back to his ideal weight of 13 stones.
"I feel like a 17-year-old boy again," he said.
