Ahmed, who weighed more than half a metric ton (1,100 lb) when she
was operated on in March, has not walked for 25 years. She is in her
mid-30s.
A series of operations in Mumbai brought her weight down to below
200 kg (440 lb), her doctor, Muffazal Lakdawala, wrote in a blog
post. But she would need further surgery to walk again, he said.
Lakdawala wrote on Wednesday that he had promised Ahmed "a healthier
life and weight loss" which he had achieved.
"Her bone structure is poor," Lakdawala wrote. "So many years of
disuse have compounded the problem. She will need multiple surgeries
to straighten her hips and knees."
Indian media outlets have said Ahmed's family was not satisfied with
her treatment in Mumbai and that differences had arisen with the
staff.
Ahmed's family could not be immediately reached for comment.
