The 36-year-old Egyptian woman, who had not left her house in Alexandria for 25 years, was named as the world’s heaviest woman when her body weight reached a deadly 500kg.
She was medically evacuated to Saifee Hospital in Mumbai to go under a bariatric surgery, after suffering from a stroke, which left her bedridden and unable to move.
Abdul Atti’s condition caused her to suffer from obesity-related lymphoedema, which led to severe swelling in the legs.
Doctors at Saifee Hosptial claim that Abul Atti’s weight has now reached 176kg. However, her sister, Shaima Selim, who has not left her side, begs to differ.
After the dispute between Abdul Atti’s family and Dr Maffazal Lakdawala, Abdul Atti’s bariatric surgeon in Safee Hospital, the family contacted Burjeel Hospital in Abu Dhabi for help.
