MUMBAI: Eman Ahmed, the 36-year-old Egyptian woman who weighed over 500kg until she underwent a bariatric surgery in a Mumbai hospital 11days ago, is on the way to recovery but it could be a slow process. Doctors have to not only monitor her kilos but also her poorly functioning lungs that have triggered a right-side heart failure as well as the multiple spells of epileptic fits she suffers every day .

An update that her doctors at Saifee Hospital in south Mumbai posted online on Saturday afternoon said, "We are happy to inform you that her post-op recovery is going fairly well."

She is 358kg now, appreciably lower than the 498kg that she weighed when she touched down in Mumbai on February 11. "She lost 120kg in less than a month, but that was mainly the fluids," said Dr Muffazal Lakdawala, who heads the retinue of doctors working to 'Save Eman'.
