The world’s fattest woman managed to lose a stone a day as she waited for lifesaving surgery.

Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty, who has been unable to leave her house for 25 years, was flown from Egypt to India in a specially modified Airbus.

On arrival, the 36-year-old who weighed 78stone was lifted by a crane into Saifee Hospital.

Before going under the knife, doctors placed her on a strict 1,200-calorie liquid diet.

It helped her shed 66lbs in just five days.

Eman Ahmed, 78 stone, was flown from her home in Egypt to India on a specially modified cargo plane to undergo a series of operations to help her lose weight. The walls of her room reportedly had to be knocked down to bring her out before she was lifted out of her bed by a crane. She was placed in a mini-truck at Chhatrapati Shivaji International airport and transported to Saifee Hospital in Mumbai India.

As a child Eman was diagnosed with elephantiasis, a condition that causes the limbs to swell.

But after a stroke she was left bedridden, which led to diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension and sleep apnoea.

Eman now has two sessions of physiotherapy a day and is able to lift her limbs higher and sleep better.

She is expected to have her surgery in a few weeks time.
