埃及超重女子手術後減掉了五百斤的體重
An Indian hospital treating an Egyptian woman, believed to have been the world's heaviest woman, says she has lost 250kg after surgery.
印度一家醫院治療了一位埃及女性，據稱她是世界上體重最重的女人，術後她減掉了250公斤。Eman Abd El Aty's family said she originally weighed 500kg - and was unable to leave her home for 25 years.
據伊曼·阿卜杜拉蒂的家人表示，她原本重達500公斤，25年來都無法走出家門。Ms Abd El Aty underwent bariatric surgery at Mumbai's Saifee hospital two months ago. The hospital said she could now fit into a wheelchair and sit up for longer periods of time.
兩個月前，阿卜杜拉蒂在印度孟買Saifee醫院接受了減肥手術。醫院方面稱，她現在終於可以坐進輪椅，並能坐立一段時間了。
The surgery was performed by a team of doctors led by bariatric surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala.
該手術是由減肥外科醫生穆法扎爾·拉克達瓦拉博士帶領的醫療團隊進行的。The hospital has released new pictures of Ms Abd El Aty following weight reduction surgery.
該醫院發佈了一組阿卜杜拉蒂在減肥手術後的新照片。Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese (having a body mass index of 40 or above, or 35 with other obesity-related health conditions).
減肥手術，被用作針對高危肥胖人羣（身體質量指數在40以上，或者在35但是存在其他與肥胖相關的健康問題）的最後一個手段。
Dr Lakdawala said in a statement that Ms Abd El Aty continued to "rapidly" lose weight, but added that a stroke she had suffered as a child meant that she was still paralysed on one side of her body and continued to suffer convulsions. She also has difficulty speaking and swallowing.
拉克達瓦拉博士在一份聲明中稱，阿卜杜拉蒂的體重將會繼續“快速”下降。但他也表示，由於她在小時曾患過中風，導致其一側身體依然癱瘓，所以她目前依然會有抽搐行爲。此外，阿卜杜拉蒂還有說話和吞嚥困難的問題。The statement added that the hospital was now waiting for her to lose enough weight for her to be able to fit inside a CT scan machine to ascertain the cause of her stroke.
聲明中還寫道，院方現在正等阿卜杜拉蒂的體重進一步下降，以便爲其進行CT掃描，查找導致她中風的原因。Dr Lakdawala said the next stage of her treatment involved putting her on a trial drug for obesity after six months. The hospital is currently attempting to procure the drug from a US based pharmaceutical company.
拉克達瓦拉博士表示，下一階段的治療包括6個月後開始服用減肥藥。該院目前正嘗試從美國製藥公司採購藥物。Ms Abd El Aty's family says she weighed 5kg at birth and was diagnosed with elephantiasis, a condition in which body parts swell due to a parasitic infection.
阿卜杜拉蒂的家人稱，她出生時體重是5公斤，後被診斷出患有象皮病，即因寄生蟲感染導致肢體腫大。By the time she was 11, her weight had risen sharply and she suffered a stroke which left her bedridden. She is cared for by her mother and sister.
到11歲時，阿卜杜拉蒂的體重就急劇增加，中風又導致她癱瘓在牀，常年由母親和姐姐照料。Ms Abd El Aty's weight loss means she may no longer be the heaviest woman alive. The Guinness world records says the heaviest woman living is Pauline Potter in the US, who weighed 293.6 kg when measured in July 2012.
阿卜杜拉蒂的減肥進程意味着她可能不再是世界上最重的女性了。根據吉尼斯世界紀錄顯示，目前在世的最重女性是美國的波林·鮑特，2012年7月份時其體重爲293.6公斤。
