Surgery helps Egyptian woman shed 250 kg in two months

MUMBAI, India - The "world's heaviest woman" has shed half her weight - around a quarter of a ton - in the two months she's been in India for treatment, doctors said.

Egyptian national Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty weighed 500 kilograms when she arrived in Mumbai in February on a specially modified plane to undergo emergency weight-loss surgery.

In videos provided this week by the Saifee Hospital, where the 37-year-old successfully had bariatric surgery last month, Abd El Aty can be seen sitting up and smiling while listening to music.
