Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty, an Egyptian national believed to be the world’s heaviest woman weighing 500 kg, has undergone a weight-loss surgery at Mumbai’s Saifee Hospital.

She was brought to Mumbai from Egypt and had been undergoing pre-operative care for the past month. The 35-year-old had not moved out of her house for the last 25 years.

Doctors had put her on a diet and medicines, as a result of which she lost 100 kg, the hospital said in a statement. “Eman successfully underwent a Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on March 7. She had an uneventful surgery and anaesthesia course,” it said. She has been put on oral fluids, which she has been accepting well. “Further action for the team working on her will be to correct all her associated medical problems to get her fit enough to fly back to Egypt soon,” the statement said.
