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.
