Indian doctors said Thursday that an
Egyptian who was believed to be the
world’s heaviest woman had
successfully undergone weight - loss
surgery after losing over 100
kilograms (220 pounds).
Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty , who
previously weighed around 500 kilos,
had not left her house in Egypt in over
two decades until arriving in Mumbai
last month for bariatric surgery.
“ We are happy to inform all well -
wishers that the medical team of Saifee
Hospital has successfully performed
the surgery on Eman Ahmed ,” said a
statement.
“ Eman successfully underwent a
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on
March 7 th 2017 at Saifee Hospital. She
had an uneventful surgery and
anaesthesia course .
“ She is now on oral fluids and
accepting them well . The future course
of action for the medical team working
on her will be to correct all her
associated medical problems, to get her
fit enough to fly back to Egypt as soon
as possible,” it added .
A spokeswoman for Dr Muffazal
Lakdawala , who is leading Abd El
Aty ’s treatment , said the 37 - year- old
Egyptian’ s weight had been brought
under 400 kilograms since she arrived
in Mumbai in early February .
“ Eman has lost over 100 kilograms and
has been shedding weight gradually on
a daily basis with all the treatment
and support ,” she told AFP.
The Egyptian , who is from the
Mediterranean port city of Alexandria ,
was flown to India’ s commercial
capital in a specially modified Airbus
on Saturday 11 February for
treatment.
Abd El Aty ’s sister had approached
Lakdawala , a specialist weight - loss
surgeon , in October, saying her sibling
needed urgent medical attention .
Her family told the doctor that as a
child she was diagnosed with
elephantiasis, a condition that causes
the limbs and other body parts to
swell , leaving her almost immobile.
Abd El Aty has suffered a stroke and
faced a series of other serious ailments
owing to her weight including
diabetes, high blood pressure,
hypertension and sleep deprivation.
Her request for an Indian visa was
initially denied, but she was granted
passage after tweeting a plea for help
directly to India ’s foreign minister ,
who intervened.
Abd El Aty had a long wait as no
airlines were willing to fly her due to
her health complications.
Bariatric surgery is a stomach -
shrinking bypass procedure carried
out on those wanting to lose excessive
weight.
It is increasingly common in India,
which has a growing problem with
obesity, particularly in urban areas .
India is a major destination for
medical tourists seeking quality
services and no waiting lists at a
fraction of the cost of western
countries. |
