Mumbai: In a shocking revelation, sister of world’s heaviest woman Eman Ahmed, who is being treated by undergoing various surgeries, Saimma Selim has alleged that Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala, who has been treating the former, is not correct about his updates about Eman’s health and recovery. Selim alleges that her sister has not recovered at all. "Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala is a liar and is not giving right/factual updates about Eman’s recovery. Eman has not recovered one bit”. However, Dr. Lakdawala denied all the allegations leveled against him. In fact, the doctor said that Eman is doing well and a CT scan is to be done to ascertain her neurological condition. The doctor also added that “Saimma is creating a scene because she does not want to take her sister back to Egypt due to financial reasons.”  “Actually, Everything was right with Saimma for initial 15 days after Eman’s treatment started but when she recovered and we suggested that she can be taken back to Egypt, Saimma started to create all this drama as she doesn’t want to take her sister back to Egypt due to financial reasons," he told a news agency. The doctor also said they would be moving Eman from her ward to the CT scan room where one can see the clear difference between what the sister is claiming and what the reality is. Earlier in the month, 36-year-old Egyptian Eman Ahmed, who was the heaviest woman in the world at 500-plus kg until a few months ago, lost 250kg in two months after undergoing surgery Mumbai’s at Saifee Hospital. "Eman has done miraculously well. We actually didn’t expect her to do this well because we had estimated that in six odd months she would lose around 200 kg.  The weight loss has also dramatically improved her health. Eman’s heart, kidneys and lungs are functioning better and her water retention levels are also under control," claims the doctor. 99%. I think now, we have given her a chance to live. If she gets physiotherapy done properly and wants to be able to walk, Eman will have to put in the efforts." "We’ll now weigh her after three-four weeks and are hoping she’ll come under the 200 kg mark. She is a fighter and she has a will to fight this," he added. (With agency inputs)
