According to the report, the boy, Rishi Khatau, from India was so fat that he had wear adult sized shirts and trouser.

When his parents consulted with some doctor regarding this problem, doctors said that there was no any other option except surgery.

So they finally allowed the surgeons to cut more than 70 per cent of his stomach to lose weight.

Father, Dipen, 39, a textile trader, from Kolkata, in West Bengal, India, said: “We had no other way of saving our son. He was slowly dying and we had tried diets and failed. The doctor told us his condition was serious, surgery was our last hope.”

The surgery went successful, and his conditions are now much better than earlier.
