Once holding the dubious distinction of being Asia's heaviest woman weighing over 300kg, a woman from Maharashtra's Palghar has shed a staggering 214 kgs in four years, her bariatric surgeon Shashank Shah announced here on Wednesday. Her ordeal started at the age of 6 when she suddenly started piling up kilos though she was born a normal healthy baby of just 3 kg, Shah said.
The journey was not easy as even top endocrinologists from India and Britain were unable to fathom the exact cause of her obesity for years that prevented her from stepping out of her bed and home for eight years. "I had to help her with all her chores, eating, dressing, controlling fluid retention with towels and bedsheets that soaked the excess fluid discharge. But, now she is in shape and the full credit goes to Dr. Shah," she said.
"We had to prepare for almost two months before the surgery. A special ambulance with its doors removed was arranged, a huge six-and-half-feet sofa was fitted inside it to transport her to hospital. There she had a special heavy duty bed, special clothes, a weighing machine and of course, a strict tailor-made diet," Shah told media persons.
