全世界最重的女性近日從埃及飛到印度,準備進行拯救她性命的手術。重達495公斤的伊蔓 (Eman Ahmed) 被送到印度的醫院後,每天都攝取嚴格訂定的1,200卡路里液體飲食,而且在到醫院後的前5天,每天都瘦了6公斤。

36歲的她被搬出房間時,還必須將她房間的牆壁打穿,然後用起重機將她抬出去,用小貨車載到賈特拉帕蒂·希瓦吉國際機場後,再用特殊客機載到位於印度孟買的Saifee醫院。伊蔓在週六抵達醫院,醫生表示他們預計在年底前讓她瘦下205公斤,她才能上手術台。

減肥手術醫生Muffazal Lakdawala表示:「手術台可以負重453公斤,但電梯的寬度是141公分,伊蔓現在寬度有151公分。」
伊蔓一出生就重達驚人的4.9公斤,之後她被診斷出有象皮病,一種寄生蟲引發的疾病,會造成患者的四肢異常腫大。大約到了11歲時,伊蔓就沒辦法支撐自己的體重,只能到處爬行。

大約是在同時期,她也從學校輟學,而且罹患缺血性中風,導致她只能躺在床上,更加重了她的過胖情形,也讓她到就醫前再也沒有離開過房間。

她的右腿跟右手也是癱瘓狀態,更罹患許多因過胖而產生的疾病,包括糖尿病、高血壓及睡眠剝奪。在她重達495公斤時,她的家人在網上向埃及總統阿卜杜勒-法塔赫·塞西PO了一則絕望的求救訊息,總統看到後決定要幫助這家人,讓他們的醫療費用全免。

不過到印度的路途也是困難重重,因為伊蔓一開始申請往印度的簽證被拒絕了,他們只好發推特給印度的外交部長,最後簽證才被核准。要找到飛機更不是件容易的事,因為許多航空公司擔心伊蔓的健康狀況而不敢載她。

在搭飛機之前,伊蔓還得訂做特別的床,上面包含了讓她安全飛到孟買所需的各種設備。

就連最後答應載她的那架貨機上也擺滿了各種急救設備,包括攜帶型呼吸器、攜帶型去纖顫器、氧氣筒、插管式喉頭鏡及各類藥品。

最後伊蔓在她的姊妹Shaimaa Ahmed的陪同下平安抵達醫院。

Lakdawala醫生表示:「將伊蔓送到孟買是很困難的任務,要知道她的狀況很複雜,因為她是名高風險的病人,在過去25年來都不能移動或離開家。」
![Several people were then seen gathering around the truck as it arrived. A spokesperson for Saifee Hospital said Ms Aty was given blood thinners in the days leading up to the transfer to prevent her from suffering a pulmonary embolism](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/58aa7627de9a1.jpg)
![She was then, very carefully, lifted out of the truck and on to the plane, where she was then flown to the hospital with her sister by her side](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/58aa762811613.jpg)
除了飲食之外,現在伊蔓一天也要接受兩次物理治療,這讓她的手腳能稍微抬高了些,晚上也睡得更好。她也做了各種檢驗,希望能盡快進行手術。醫生表示:「唯有在跟肥胖相關的疾病都獲得控制,且伊蔓也減重後,我們才會進行手術。」

希望她的狀況能快點好轉…不然一直只能躺在床上應該也是滿痛苦的。
