Unable to lose weight
I once saw an interesting documentary on one of the popular TV channels. I watched it maybe five or six years ago so I might not remember the details. I know it was about a young woman, she was perhaps twenty-five or thirty years old. However, she looked really old, and that was not because her face looked old. She was so overweight you could hardly believe she was still alive! She had been trying to lose weight since she was a little child, but she probably suffered from a genetic disorder which made it impossible for her to suppress appetite. She ate three times as much as a typical woman her age would do! What is more, her lifestyle was completely sedentary. Actually, she found it impossible to move out of the house because of her weight. The documentary was about a group of people who decided to help her. They managed to move her out of her house (which was really difficult because one of the walls had to be pulled down). Then they transported her to a hospital where she was operated on. More than a half of her stomach was cut out. The doctors believed that was the only way to help her lose weight. She would be unable to eat as much as she usually did. I don"t know if the method was really successful because unfortunately I didn"t see the next sequence.
