Briton undergoes weight losing surgery in India

A. Smith, the fattest Briton who once weighed 297 kg, is now a happy man having lost eight kg in just two days after he underwent an obesity surgery here becoming the "heaviest patient" to be operated upon.

"I have seen and heard sniggers and nasty things. Now I hope it will be a thing of the past," 35-year-old Smith said as he radiated an ear to ear smile.

Smith flew down to India to undergo 'Sleeve Gastrectomy' procedure at a hospital here last week becoming the "heaviest patient operated in Asia".

Turned away by many UK hospitals which expressed their inability to perform the surgery as Smith had a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 80, putting him in high risk category, he decided to contact Laparo Obese Centre in INDIA and planned the operation.

"Smith was a classic case of super obese patients who end up showing co-morbid conditions in early age due to morbid obesity. He used to suffer from heaviness in abdomen, severe backache, hypertension, sleep apnoea and walking problems," Dr Shah, who performed the surgery, said.

PROTECT your joints now, or pay later.

See the full gallery on Posterous That’s the message of today’s article, which could be headlined Joint Economics. If you are one of the more than 400,000 people a year who have already had one or more hips or knees replaced — or someone who already has no choice but to consider joining their ranks — we offer our sympathies or encouragement or even congratulations, depending on how you are faring. But this column is for people who are not yet destined to necessarily become part of those statistics. Although the human body has an amazing capacity to repair itself, our joints are surprisingly fragile. When the cartilage that cushions bones wears away, it does not grow back. Thinning cartilage contributes to osteoarthritis , also known as degenerative arthritis , a painful and often debilitating condition. Over time, arthritic joints can become so sore and inflamed that they need to be replaced with mechanical substitutes. A result: more pain, at least in the short
