Fattest Individual in Britain, Zachari Smith, Gets Weight Loss Surgery
Zachari Smith, who was widely known as “the fattest man in Britain” because he weighs in at 297kg ( close to 660 lbs). He has just visited India to go through major bariatric surgery to help him conquer his morbid obesity. The surgical treatment was sleeve gastronomy, and is the first step in a 2 step process. Super morbidly obese patients have a higher threat of complications if they only undergo gastric bypass first, therefore the procedure is performed in stages to get a portion of the total weight down prior to doing the last phase of total gastric bypass.
This patient is considered to be the record hugest patient to undertake bariatric surgery in Asia. The weight loss goal of Mr. Smith will be to get near 200 pounds.
Mr. Smith was beginning to have issues with walking around so he sought after the aid of laparoscopic surgeon Dr. Shashank Shah from India. Identified to be developing many dangerous co-morbid health conditions that could set him on a path for early death, he went through the surgery.
Being being the heaviest person ever operated on in Asia is an remarkable feat, but even more, Mr. Smith will have his life back! Congratulations.
