The most obese woman in the world, Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty, will board a
flight from her native Egypt to Mumbai, India, in order to get a life-saving
surgery.
An Airbus
was specially modified, so that Abd El Aty could make the trip. She is presently
weighing about 495 kilos.
Abd El Aty's
sister approached an Indian doctor, Muffazal Lakdawala, in October, telling him
about her sibling’s dire situation. She informed him how Abd El Aty was
diagnosed with elephantiasis as a child, causing her to have a stroke, as well
as to develop diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension and sleep apnea.
The
36-year-old woman has not been able to leave her bed for 25 years.
Her stomach
will be shrunk through bariatric surgery, in which she receives a bypass. The
woman will arrive in Mumbai Saturday morning.
