World's heaviest woman Eman Ahmed loses over 120 kg; awaiting surgery

After having lost over 120 kg in less than a month, Egypt's Eman Ahmed may no longer have to live with the tag of world's heaviest woman, reported The Times of India. 

Undergoing treatment at the Saifee Hospital in Mumbai, Ahmed has shown remarkable improvement despite suffering multiple strokes in between. Once she is of size to fit into an MRI machine, doctors will be able to find out the reason behind the strokes by next month.  Currently, doctors are waiting for her gene test report, post which, a bariatric surgery may take place.

"We are expecting her genetic report by the end of this week. A surgery may follow any time after that," her surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala told the daily.  He said she has entered the league of "300 plus kilos", much better from her original weight of 498kg.

Ahmed is now swallowing food better, speaking clearly and responding well to physiotherapy. "It is all because the body fluid has gone down. Losing the next 100 kg, however, won't be easy as the medicines have mostly done their job," Lakdawala said to the daily.

Nearly Rs 60 lakh has been raised to help her out.
