New Delhi: After losing 330 kg of weight and status as the heaviest woman in the world, 36-year-old Egyptian Eman Ahmed will leave her Mumbai hospital on Thursday for follow-up at a hospital in Dubai.
"Eman will surely miss me just as I will miss her," said Dr Muffazal Lakdawala, the bariatric surgeon at Saifee Hospital, who brought the 36-year-old for treatment. "When I had stopped by to visit her, along with some dignitaries earlier in the day, she held my hand. I am sure she understands she is leaving the hospital," said the doctor who managed to reduce Eman's weight to 170 kg.
"My only fear throughout has been whether she will go back. There is reference in medical literature of two patients her size who have been operated on. While one passed away immediately after surgery, the other is lost to follow. We have carefully recorded Eman's treatment as it is a medical marvel," said Dr Lakdawala.
Saifee Hospital, where Eman was hospitalized since February 11, will hand over a 29-sheet transfer file to officials of Bhurjeel Hospital, Abu Dhabi, before the departure.
