NEW DELHI: Doctors at a private hospital in the city recently conducted a weight loss surgery on a man weighing 277kg.

Rafid, a resident of Iraq, was suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. He was also dependant on the continuous positive airway pressure machine to sleep. But doctors claim the operation has helped him overcome these complications significantly.

"After surgery, Rafiq has lost 30kg. Over the next nine months, he is expected to shed another 125kg," said Dr Deep Goel, senior consultant and director, bariatric and advanced laparoscopic surgery, at BLK super-specialty hospital.

The hospital administration made special arrangements to perform sleeve gastrectomya surgery on Rafid.

The surgery involves stapling the stomach to create a small pouch so that smaller amounts of food are enough to satiate the patient's hunger. This pouch is further connected to the small intestine to lower fat absorption.

"The operation, which lasted for over two hours, was monitored by specialists from other departments, including endocrinologists, to observe his diabetes levels," added Dr Goel.
