Biggest Man in Great Britain, Zachari Smith, Undertakes Weight Loss Surgical Treatment

Posted by Bariatric Center on Monday, November 15th, 2010

Zachari Smith, who was commonly identified as “the fattest man in Britain” because he weighs in at 297kg ( close to 660 lbs). He has just visited India to undertake drastic bariatric surgery to help him overcome his morbid obesity. The surgery was sleeve gastronomy, and is the 1st step in a 2 step procedure. Super morbidly obese individuals have an increased threat of complications if they merely undergo gastric bypass first, so the treatment is performed in steps to get part of the weight down prior to undertaking the final phase of total gastric bypass.

This patient is said to be the record hugest patient to undertake weight loss surgery in Asia. The weight loss goal of Mr. Smith will be to get near 200 pounds.

Mr. Smith was beginning to get problems walking so he sought after the aid of laparoscopic bariatric doctor Dr. Shashank Shah from India. Identified to be developing numerous serious co-morbid conditions that could set him on a path for premature death, he underwent the surgery.

Being being the heaviest individual ever operated on in Asia is an amazing feat, but even more, Mr. Smith can have his life back again! Congratulations.
