MAN WITH 100LB “BALLS” REJECTS FREE SURGERY BECAUSE HE LIKES THE FAME
(BlackMediaScoop) An extraordinary condition that ballooned Wesley Warren Jr.’s scrotum to a massive 100 pounds made him feel like “a freak,” and the Las Vegas man set off on a campaign to raise $1 million for corrective surgery.
But given the chance to have the surgery — even at no cost — the 47-year-old remains reluctant to go under the knife. Friends say he doesn’t want the surgery because he likes the attention.
If anything, Warren’s new-found fame may have gone to his head, friends say he’s enjoying his celebrity status. “I’ll make a decision when I’m ready,” Warren said. He’s appeared on the Howard Stern Show, Comedy Central and will be the subject of a planned documentary on The Learning Channel.
A producer with “The Dr. Oz Show” said they would find a surgeon to perform the procedure for free as long as he shared his journey exclusively with the program. Warren didn’t want to be confined to one show, and later said he was also worried the doctors selected for him could possibly maim or kill him during surgery. WTH!
Another doctor from the University of California, Irvine, has been in touch with Warren, and is also offering his services for free as long as Nevada Medicaid pays for the room. Doctors said Warren suffers from scrotal lymphedema, which causes the scrotum to swell with watery fluid.
Without the extra growth, Warren would weigh about 300 pounds, he said. His large size makes urination difficult and a normal sex life impossible.
He attributes his condition to a painful episode in 2008, when he was turning in bed and accidentally squashed his testicles. “It was like a shooting pain through my entire body,” he said. “When it stopped, it was like a huge tractor trailer went off the top of me.”
Warren’s fears of complications during surgery aren’t unfounded, according to reports, because doctors will be dealing with a potential for major bleeding.
Still, Warren scoffs at the idea that he’s more interested in the notoriety than curing his condition: “Who would want to live like this?” he told said. “I just don’t want to die during the operation.”
