Eman Ahmed Abdulati before being put on the liquid diet; and in post-operative care

Mumbai's doctors have pulled off a world record. The most eagerly awaited surgery on Egyptian national Eman Ahmed Abdulati, 36, touted to be the world's heaviest woman at 500 kg, has finally taken place. On Tuesday, leading bariatric surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala and his team performed a Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on Eman, who was already a 100 kg lighter at the time thanks to a strict liquid diet regimen, at Charni Road's Saifee Hospital.
