Doctors remove massive fat from woman's stomach
Charlene Branham had been trapped in her house for 10 years.
The reason? Fifty kilograms of stomach that hung between her legs made it impossible for her to move.
The mass of fat was even more dangerous to her health, dragging down her organs.
So she stayed home, where her mother cared for her.
Obese and unable, Charlene wore bed sheets like a toga.
However, with the help of her family physician she found a surgeon in Los Angeles to operate.
When the fat was removed, it took people to carry it.
Charlene, 40, is now in a nursing home, where she is recovering and learning how to walk again, even though she still weighs 200 kilograms.
