Man and his 100-pound scrotum to soon seperate

Dan Mauer has spent nearly two decades with a 100-pound mass on his groin.

The 39-year old says it's physically and emotionally exhausting, since everywhere he went, people stared.

"They don't know what it's like to live in my shoes," Maurer said. "I knew there was something else going on."


Now, he's getting it removed this week.

Doctors say it's part of a condition called scrotal lymphedema, which Mauer helped identify after watching a TLC documentary about Wesley Warren Jr., "The Man with the 132-Pound Scrotum."

Mauer's loved ones then started a campaign in his home town, hoping to raise money for surgery. More than 1,000 people donated, raising over $27,000.

"With the surgery, my life is on the line and losing my penis is on the line," he said. "I guarantee almost all men would go for the best (doctor)," he said.

One thing he's excited to do once the procedure is all said and done: Have sex with his wife, Mindy, for the first time in seven years. He also looks forward to traveling and jet-skiing.
