Surgeons Remove 125-Pound Belly from Russian Woman

By David in Health on Apr 26, 2008 at 9:20 am

In America, many of us can be lax with our eating habits. Sometimes it requires a week of exercise to compensate for a holiday’s worth of gorging. But in more extreme cases, it requires a team of surgeons to undo. Surgeons recently worked for hours to remove the massive skin fat of patient Natalya M.:

When Natalya M. was rushed to a hospital in Voronezh, Russia, the doctors didn’t believe their eyes – the woman had a gigantic skin-fat growth on her belly that didn’t let her walk normally. It was 36 inches long and weighed 125 pounds.

The website you got that from seems a bit pseudo-sciency. I’m not saying the article is not true, only to take articles from that site with a grain of salt.

Wow. And now, this woman who cannot take care of herself (yes, I read it was a hormonal imbalance, but she wasn’t seeking medical care, and only came to the ER when it got so bad that she could not walk) is going to have a baby!

Re: Alannah
Didn’t it say she saw hundreds of doctors and tried diets since she was a kid?

But I wonder what the hell kind of doctors she went to that didn’t do anything until it was this bad. It will definitely be a new life for her in so many ways.
