Things are looking smaller for one of our city's own.
According to city medical reports one woman surnamed Zhu is Shanghai's most obese resident. But she's just received a successful surgery to reduce her 152kg by half within the year.
The 26-year-old has a Body Mass Index of 69.4 - nearly triple what is considered healthy (between 18.5 and 24).
Suffering from a variety of health issues, to include breath obstruction during sleep, she was taken by her family to the hospital where they suggested Stomach Intestinal Pylorus-Sparing Surgery (SIPS) operation - the only option given her weight.
