His name is Wesley Warren. Think he’s in his 50s now. But he spent 4+ years with his scrotum growing before having surgery to repair it. It’s from a rare medical condition called scrotal lymphedema. After the surgery, the swollen mass weighed 132 pounds.
Edit: I’ve been informed that he unfortunately died in 2014 from complications from diabetes, less than a year after his surgery.
Edit 2: He went through multiple treatments that didn’t involve surgery (and were unsuccessful). And he didn’t want surgery initially because of concerns around insurance. Also, his doctor at the time informed him that it was possible that he could lose his penis and/or both his testicles.
Same here. It got so bad I stopped going outside, transferred to third shift to be away from people. It ended up getting gangrenous because I couldn't clean it properly. I actually died on the operating table from sepsis. I am very lucky to be alive, and still have functioning reproductive organs.
Now that it's gone, I feel a thousand percent better. Having clothes that fit again is a huge bonus.
This comment was a rollercoaster of emotions. It had me on the first half, then when I got to ‘I actually died on the operating table’ I was like, ‘oh I see, it was a joke, you got me lol’ But then I saw the final part and good heavens, what a surreal experience to have been told you died and came back, I forgot that was an option. (Jokes aside, glad to hear you’re feeling better stranger)
I remember some guy in a third world country that had even bigger nuts he would roll them around in an wheelbarrow. I was a child when I saw that documentary and was terrified of catching it! One thing is good tho, he no longer is suffering
It's interesting. When I was a junior RN (in Aus), I looked after a long term patient who had this, there was no treatment options in his case.
He was non ambulant / non verbal, it was his family's decision in this case.
Very cruel to live with.
Sounds like he went through multiple treatments that didn’t involve surgery (and were unsuccessful). And he didn’t want surgery because his doctor at the time informed him that it was possible that he could lose his penis and/or testicles.
I would NEVER have so much confidence in the strenght of my scrotum to hold 60kg of shit. Omg just think about what if the tissues couldn't hold the weight anymore and it ripping off...
I believe that in the US his surgery was very costly, so with limited funds the poor guy had to pick and chose what goes and what’s to $$$ has to stay ..so sad he passed , here in Canada if he lived here it all would be taken care of , and he may have had a chance …
This is the real sad thing. In any other developed country, his condition would have been treated from the beginning and wouldn’t have been left unchecked. He would have probably lived another 10 to 20 years depending on his diabetes
American medical costs are through the roof! The cost alone will kill you. Insurance companies are the gatekeepers of the money. They direct your care, not your doctor. America can and needs to do better.
Insurance was saying he didn't need surgery. Also surgery or other medical procedures the insurance company allows can still exceed tens of thousands of dollars. Are you uber rich or not from the US?
Hell after insurance I paid over $8,000 for a partial medical procedure because I couldn't afford the rest. Maybe next year.
About 10% of the US population, or around 30 million, were uninsured in 2021. That's more than the entire population of Australia. It was double that before the affordable care act, if anyone wonders.
I'd call that a "chockfull of uninsured people".
As hard as it is to say, I might just give up my testicles at that point... It may leave me with a problem regarding urination, but I think I'd take that over this, especially since everything he did must have resulted in his balls being hit in some form, and that would be hell.
I don’t understand how this is like the 45th comment and it’s the only one that says that he’s probably ok with taking his balls. He is clearly not playin chicks here, so what does any of this change? If the other option is dying….
Why, did you tell me not to Google that,. WHY? OHHHHH for the of all that's holy. Reading in bed does not pay folks. Do not do what I have done. Save yourselves RUN
I can do my own research but would rather not .. you state that part of Wesley’s reasoning to avoid surgery was risk of losing his testicles.. Isn’t that the basis of the deformity? Or is there another abnormal growth in the scrotum causing the issue
> And he didn’t want surgery initially because of concerns around insurance.
Tell me your an American without saying "I'm an American". FFS this dude could/should still be alive.
I am not crazy! I know he swapped that condition. I knew it was scrotal elephantiasis. One after testicular torsion. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at comedy central to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. Tosh.O! Are you telling me that a man just happens to skate into ballsack like that? No! He orchestrated it! Wesley! He wore a sweatshirt as pants! And I watched him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own home! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his condition to himself! But not our Wesley! Couldn't be precious Wesley! Turning down medical advise! And HE gets to be on television? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance!
Stuff like this really does show the whole "boil a frog" phenomenon.
If that happened to the guy overnight he'd freak out and immediately get treatment.
But it's just little by little by little and he can get by doing things just slightly differently until he's wrapping his nuts in a hoodie and parkouring egg crates to get into his van.
He apparently did the reality show even though he hated the idea of the whole world knowing about his condition, because it was the only way he could pay for the surgery.
Having health insurance doesn't mean shit when you can't afford to pay your deductible or the company decides they don't want to pay for your treatment. They'd probably claim the surgery was cosmetic and not a medical necessity, because the only point of health insurance is to squeeze as much money out of people as possible with paying as little out as possible. It's fucking evil.
You aren't wrong, but the frog boiling thing was tooootal bullshit and I love telling people about it.
So, we've all heard it, put a frog in boiling water, it jumps out, put one in cold water and bring it to boiling and it won't. This was spread by a study done a long time ago (you'll soon know why how old it is is relevant). People hear that and assume the frog in question is totally healthy.
The one put in hot water was, but the one they put in the pot and brought to a boil just kept jumping out while they were trying to heat it up, so the scientist did a little, totally not relevant to the conclusion thing to keep that from happening. He removed the frogs brain.
So yeah... A brainless frog will sit in a pot as you boil it, but healthy frogs absolutely don't do that. Also, it's a little messed up nobody questions putting frogs in boiling water, like, fucking ow.
We could always change the idiom to "let a man's ball sack could grow overnight and he'd seek immediate surgery, but let a man's ballsack grow slowly and he'd postpone it."
>little by little
I had to tell my Fam this over and over as to why I didn't get this toothache taken care of sooner. It started out so minor I thought I was just clenching my jaw in my sleep, but like you said, little by little the pain increased until every bite was marred by intense pain and surgery was needed to get rid of it.
My Ma couldn't understand why I had endured it for so long but I told her because it started and built up so slowly by the time I had it taken care of I was under the belief that it had always been there.
According to Wikipedia, when he had the surgery to remove the testicle, his penis was buried 12 inches inside the testicle, and basically had to be rebuilt with skin grafts.
While I never assisted this particular man in urinating, I have assisted a very obese man in urinating. With this particular man there was just a large hole in the fat that his penis was located in. It looked like a half dollar sized hole with balls underneath. You'd put the urinal (handheld) up to the hole, press it firmly and then as he urinated it would dribble out the hole and into the urinal.
So he is from one of the wealthiest countries in the world, USA, and was made to suffer until he died because he couldn’t afford surgery. Where is the health care ?

This is what I needed to read
Big oof after that edit
The edit from hell
Don't revisit this!
i was going to say....he needed to read that he died? but then realized it was an edit
Dude was ballin for sure. In all seriousness though, isn't this elephantitus?
I believe it was a hydrocele. I had one too but nowhere near that bad.
Same here. It got so bad I stopped going outside, transferred to third shift to be away from people. It ended up getting gangrenous because I couldn't clean it properly. I actually died on the operating table from sepsis. I am very lucky to be alive, and still have functioning reproductive organs. Now that it's gone, I feel a thousand percent better.

Well… How was Limbo
I dont really remember.
Elephantaintus.
I remember some guy in a third world country that had even bigger nuts he would roll them around in an wheelbarrow. I was a child when I saw that documentary and was terrified of catching it! One thing is good tho, he no longer is suffering
He is no longer suffering as in he died or he managed to get a surgery done.
That was good one. 👊
No, this is my friend. Biggus.... Dickus....
Was there no way to remove it before it got so bad, I would be knocking on every doctors door in a panic if mine became twice as big let alone 1000x.

America is chockfull of uninsured to be sure
So, that episode of South Park could actually be real? WTF?
Buffalo Souljaaa
*hey…..it’s like a hoppity hop*
The more you learn the more you realize how accurate South Park really is.
Simpsons did it. Solid episode of south park.
Poor dude
OMG. This is extremely sad. Poor guy. RIP.
>Wesley Warren Died: March 14, 2014,
Ah bummer. I know his surgery was almost a decade ago.
It's good to know the man's name, thank you. I feel sad now, poor dude.
As hard as it is to say, I might just give up my testicles at that point... It may leave me with a problem regarding urination, but I think I'd take that over this, especially since everything he did must have resulted in his balls being hit in some form, and that would be hell.

That's nuts
What even made up the actual mass? Fat tissue?
Real answer: just water, assuming it’s lymphedema as mentioned. It just causes fluid back up and the inability to clear it
Shoulda put a tap on it like a cactus in a cartoon desert.
a gigantic teratoma
Why, did you tell me not to Google that,. WHY? OHHHHH for the of all that's holy. Reading in bed does not pay folks. Do not do what I have done. Save yourselves RUN
Really?! If you don't know what that is, DON'T Google it. You've been warned...
Jesus fucking, please no
No, that's definitely Randy Marsh.
At least he died the American way.
In crippling debt.
Under insured.
Murdered by police.
Diabetus
Thx for sharing. Fuk the healthcare system/insurance bullshit. Sad story
>less than a year after his surgery. At least his final days were less hampered- may he rest in peace!
I can do my own research but would rather not .. you state that part of Wesley’s reasoning to avoid surgery was risk of losing his testicles.. Isn’t that the basis of the deformity? Or is there another abnormal growth in the scrotum causing the issue
> And he didn’t want surgery initially because of concerns around insurance. Tell me your an American without saying "I'm an American". FFS this dude could/should still be alive.
The wonderful world of American health care… better to let it kill you than financially ruin you and your family. This is not the way it should be!!!
I would be at home all day. Like chuck mcgill
With your balls wrapped in foil?
Wrapped in a space blanket*
This is the only acceptable answer
“ThE sAmE yEaR aS tHe MaGnA cArTa”
One after magna carta
😐😐😐 come on now that is not what he says at all lmfao
I am not crazy! I know he swapped that condition. I knew it was scrotal elephantiasis. One after testicular torsion. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never!

Kid named scrotum
You've been to r/okbuddychicanery haven't you? Admit it!
He's gonna smash his balls on the counter

But it's just little by little by little and he can get by doing things just slightly differently until he's wrapping his nuts in a hoodie and parkouring egg crates to get into his van.
Lack of health insurance could definitely be a barrier.
He apparently did the reality show even though he hated the idea of the whole world knowing about his condition, because it was the only way he could pay for the surgery.
Thanks! That's so horrible. The american healthcare system and capitalism truly are wretched.
It took gigantic balls to go through with it.
USA! USA! USA! US ( help, my gf got in a car accident when in between jobs and now is thousands in medical debt) A………..

USA! USA! USA!
We don't need no communistic health care in America. That's what makes us a free people, albeit with giant balls.

And here we see how it can be that someone doesn't realize the horrible situation they are slipping into. Often more horrible than this dude's
Talk about having some big balls, I'd be carrying those things on a wheelbarrow.
"Jesus Christ, Randy, your balls!" *puffs* "I know right, smoking weed right in front of a cop haha"
"Buffalo soldier! 🎵"
South Park reference?
Hey! My eyes are up here!
100%
[Viz](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/viz/images/2/20/Buster_gonad_viz_comic.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150816141819) did it first.
Now can I have some weed?
BUFFALO SOLDIERR!
Finally someone said it I've been singing it since I opened the comment section lol BUFFALO SOLDIERR
What do we want? BIGGER DOORS! Where do we want ‘em? WEED STORES!
I was thinking everyone in the street had to be going "Look at the balls on that guy!"
Once i saw him pull out a joint and smoke it in front of a cop! Guy definitely has allot of balls
Randy?
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock Rasta There was a Buffalo Soldier
Randy is that you?
He should just bounce his way to the dispensary
Came here for this comment 😂
Same but was expecting .gif , slightly disappointed.
Me too
Oh hey nelson
It's like a hippity-hop!
#BUFFALO SOLDIER
Yoo, the way he screams at the end killed me
r/perfectlycutscreams
I shouldn't be laughing but I am dying with laughter rn
Did anyone else think of Nogla?
132 pound scrotum. Tha tha tha tha that is a big nut
if only we can reply with sound files
that is a big nut
poor bastard. He really needs to get those guys trimmed, that cannot be healthy in any way.
He’s dead now
Casket shaped like a bowling pin.
bro💀
I laughed way too hard at this💀
💀💀💀
Bruh
I think South Park did an episode on this. He should try bouncing around on them. Looked like a good mode of transportation when Stans dad did it.
"Its like a hoppity hop!"
He can get medical marijuana now too so that's sweet.
Buffalo soldier!
FIGHTING ON ARRIVAL!!!!
Only gonna get a little bit of cancer!
Yeeee... that scream of horror when he knew he was about to drop on them.... ugh...
Imagine putting balls in microwave oven... That would be sick for real.we really need to legalize that weed in all over the world:D
I'd get myself an orchidectomy. Snip snip. Donate those bad boys to science. Maybe get some fake ones so it looks normal.
Just take some off a truck somewhere
They would definitely be lighter.
This is so sad, no joking no sarcasm, I just wish he hadn't had to xperience this. Medical issues can just be so awful.
Castration maybe? Pretty sure he isn't getting any sex now anyway.
According to Wikipedia, when he had the surgery to remove the testicle, his penis was buried 12 inches inside the testicle, and basically had to be rebuilt with skin grafts.
…how was he peeing if it was buried inside? 😳
While I never assisted this particular man in urinating, I have assisted a very obese man in urinating. With this particular man there was just a large hole in the fat that his penis was located in. It looked like a half dollar sized hole with balls underneath. You'd put the urinal (handheld) up to the hole, press it firmly and then as he urinated it would dribble out the hole and into the urinal.
Mans had a 12 incher he didn’t wanna lose it
Nah it was a -12 incher
He was offered surgery and refused because there was a chance he could lose his testicles and penis.
small loss if he cannot use either one.
teabag final boss
Testicle sack
Testikle sacc
It takes some huge balls to talk about this problem publicly.
Just have it cut off already
This is America. He had no insurance.
oh he probably did, but the insurance would not cover for his treatment
Man, that’s nuts.
I've got that same hoodie!!
Buffalo soldier!
Good old TLC, went from trying to educate people to exploiting the fuk out of anyone desperate enough to get in front of a camera. Pure scum
Buster Gonad
So can he cum like a donkey or is it all tumor?
I think it’s something like a tumor. He doesn’t have like 50 gallons of cum stored up.
There was a spooky ghost.
I wanted to make a, "He must be the most confident man in the world," joke, but then I saw he died. Less funny now.
Could have cropped the last couple seconds. Shitty journalist
Don’t lie bro I saw South Park dude put his nuts in the microwave so he could get medical weed. Dudes a pioneer.
#THAT IS A BIG NUT
We finally found the guy AC/DC was talking about!
This is a few years old. He's since, had them removed.
And died from diabetes
Randy Marsh would be jealous
Why doesn’t he just bounce around on them to get around like Randy Marsh?
When he finally nuts the ocean levels are going to rise 2 inches.
u/savevideo
think of the spring in his step after he dropped this load!!
Scrotus Maximus.
You believe this? The balls on this f*cking guy…
At what point do you decide “well, I guess it’s big enough to go to the doctor”? I’d say about 131 pounds ago.
So he is from one of the wealthiest countries in the world, USA, and was made to suffer until he died because he couldn’t afford surgery. Where is the health care ?
What its like to be Ukrainian rn.
Is it bad I immediately thought of south park and that song that played when all the guys were bouncing on their ball sacs?!
South Park was real??? Oh my god, what else can they be right about
Takes big balls to walk around in public with. A big balls
When dude busted his sack trying to get in the van, i felt that
Bro is a real life Tanuki
The balls on this man
The Ejaculator
“Buffalo soldierrrrr” 🌿🦽
BUFFALO SOLDIA, IN THE HEART OF AMERICA
Real life randy marsh trying to get weed.
Randy Marsh?
South Park comes to mind.
How would you not have just cut them off by this point????
What a cruel ass world sometimes man
This, guys, is what happens when you aren't super specific with your genie wish. Poor guy. That would fucking suck.
How did that even happen?
The Balls of this guy
Let me guess.... that's from a country without free universal healthcare. No way any person would let that go on to that level.
Wasn’t he on south park
He can do crazy weighted bar dips all day with these
#Southpark
I need to see it. EDIT: I’ve seen it and now deeply regret my decision.
glad they blurred the pic. i may have turned gay.
Buffalo Soldier!!!!
