World Fattest Woman Leaves Home First Time In 25 Years For Surgery

                                          


A woman who weighs nearly 80 stone is leaving her home for the first time in 25 years to have life-saving weight reduction surgery.

Iman Ahmad Abdulati, 36  who weighed over half a tonne (over 78.7 stone) is to fly to India from her home in Alexandria, Egypt, after one of the world's leading bariatric surgeons volunteered to treat her.
But her operation was almost grounded before it began after immigration officials at India's embassy in Cairo refused to believe Iman - believed to be the fattest woman in the world - was too big to visit to make her visa application.
Indian law requires visa applicants to allow immigration police to take their fingerprints.
surgeon Dr Muffazzal Lakdawala saved the situation when he used  Twitter to contact India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to ask for help.
