Biggest Individual in Britain, Zachari Smith, Undertakes Weight Loss Surgery
Zachari Smith, who was commonly recognized as “the fattest man in Britain” because he weighs in at 297kg ( approximately 660 lbs). He recently visited India to undergo drastic weight loss surgery to help him conquer his morbid obesity. The surgery was sleeve gastronomy, and is also the first step in a two step process. Super morbidly obese individuals have an increased threat of complications if they merely undergo gastric bypass first, therefore the procedure is done in steps to get a portion of the total weight reduced before doing the final phase of full gastric bypass.
This patient is said to be the record biggest patient to undertake bariatric surgery in Asia. The weight loss goal of Mr. Smith will be to get near 200 lbs.
Mr. Smith was beginning to have problems walking so he sought out the help of laparoscopic bariatric doctor Dr. Shashank Shah from India. Found to be developing many dangerous co-morbid health conditions that could set him on a path for early death, he went through the surgery.
Unquestionably being the heaviest individual ever operated on in Asia is an remarkable feat, but even more, Mr. Smith can have his life back! Congratulations.
