Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty, who was Egyptian, once weighed a whopping 500kg. Before surgery earlier this year, she had not left her bed since her pre-teens.

They said her weight was caused by a thyroid condition. However, her family claims she had elephantiasis, a condition that causes heavy swelling of limbs.
Her family adds that Eman was heavy all her life. By the time she was 11 years old, she was too heavy to walk and had to crawl on the ground.
