Indian doctors said Thursday that an Egyptian who is 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.

Okay they took off 220 pounds from a woman weighing 1100 pounds.
Does it really make that much of a difference? She is still 4 “me’s”.
If Lazamataz were to hit that - would she even know it?
“No, Laz, that’s not her. She’s over there. That’s what they took out of her.”
“Rocky, how did you get in here?! You don’t have a key.”
“No. Only half a key. I had to split it with the sound effects man.”
(Thanks, Rocky!)
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.
Regards,
I think the article means she lost the initial weight, then had the surgery. Usually they want to see a commitment to sticking to the plan by seeing you lose some of the targeted weight on your own. they do this through nutritional training ... etc. God Bless her. I hope she does well with the procedure.
God bless her is right - I am amazed that the human heart was able to survive thus far. I hope to read a follow up story in about a year, along with pictures, of a much happier and smaller gal.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step...
