Egypt's Eman Ahmed, believed to be the world's
heaviest woman, successfully underwent weight reduction surgery yesterday in
India.
Before she traveled to India for her operation, Eman weighed 1,102
pounds (500 kg) and she'd barely left her bedroom in more than two
decades.
Over the last couple of years she'd been confined to her bed after a stroke severely impaired her speech and mobility.
Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala who headed the surgery said, 'her parameters are
all stabilized, kidney is much better, electrolytes are much better. She has
done well post-surgery; she's back in her room and taking liquids,"
He said if all went well, the intention was to take another 155 to 175
pounds (70 to 80 kg) off her weight before sending her home to Egypt within the
next couple of months.
