World’s heaviest woman is fighting for her life as sister claims she ‘hasn’t lost ANY weight’ – Mirror.co.uk

The world's heaviest woman is thought to be fighting for her life as her sister has made the sensational claim that she 'has not lost any weight'.

Eman Ahmed's sibling says that her sister is not getting the treatment she needs from Dr Muffazal Lakdwala and his team at the Saifee Hospital in Mumbai.

Eman, from Egypt, weighed 78.7 stone when was flown to India for a Laparoscopic Sleeve Gasterectomy.

Just one month after her surgery, doctors said the 36-year-old had shed half her entire body weight .

But her sister, Shaimaa Selim, has said that the reports are lies, and that her sister is now extremely sick.

In an interview with Indian media, Shaimaa said: "She is really helpless. Pray for her to leave this place safely.

"People aren't good here. Doctor Muffazal cheated on us.

"He promised us that she will lose weight. Eman has been destroyed. She cannot eat properly now.

"She has been operated on only for show."

Shaimaa also claimed that her sister doesn't talk, is unable to move, and "looks bluish".

She added: "I repeat, everything was a lie. Eman did not lose 240 kilo or 260 kilo. Eman [has been] in this critical situation for one and a half months."

But doctors at the hospital refuted these claims during a press conference.

Chief surgeon Aparna Bhaskar said: "Eman is absolutely fine. She lost over 250kgs in the past three months.

"From our side, everything is fine. She is fit to be discharged. Though she needs some neurological treatment for the stroke she had three years ago, but that can be treated in Egypt as well.

"Eman's sister, Shaimaa, doesn't want to take her sister home as she knows the treatment won't be free there."

The 36-year-old tipped the scales at 78.7 stone and was so heavy she needed to travel on a cargo flight to India for her treatment at the Saifee Hospital in Mumbai.

She had to be winched into the medical facility for her surgery earlier this year where she underwent the 90-minute bariatric procedure which reduced her stomach size by three-quarters.

Medics discovered Eman had been suffering from a rare genetic disorder that told her body she was always hungry.

Eman was born weighing a hefty 11lbs and was later diagnosed with elephantiasis, a parasitic disease.

Her growing obesity also led to sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney problems and fluid retention.

By the time she was 11, Eman was too heavy to walk and became bedridden, spending 25 years unable to stand up.
