Doctors spent seven hours removing the tumor that had been growing for four years. The woman was almost 70kg lighter after the operation.

The woman was too scared to see doctors for years until her stomach had swelled to almost 20 times its usual size. At that time, she was unable to move without help.

Doctors said, "The patient weighed 119kg before the operation and now she weighs 50kg. It is strange that the family and friends were unable to react to what was going on with the lady because just the weight of the tumor confined her to bed and she could not live a normal life."

It is questionable whether the patient will recover after her operation.
