The world's fattest woman will be flown on a specially modified Airbus to India for life-saving weight reduction surgery after reaching 78 stone. Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty, 36, is to fly from Egypt for the treatment, which will reduce the size of her stomach, having not left her home for 25 years. ...
She will arrive in Mumbai in the early hours of Saturday morning and a team of doctors have been working with her to prepare her for the journey.
Muffazal Lakdawala, her doctor, said she will be flown on a specially modified Airbus and will be taken to Mumbai's Saifee Hospital upon arrival, the statement said.
'To prepare her (Eman) for the flight, a team of doctors has been in Egypt for the last ten days to optimise the conditions for her travel,' a statement said.
Abd El Aty's sister had approached Lakdawala 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. She later suffered a stroke and was rendered bedridden, triggering a series of ailments including diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension and sleep apnoea.
Abd El Aty has had a long wait as no airliners were previously willing to fly her from Egypt to India owing to her health complications
