CHINA'S fattest man is recovering in hospital after treatment for a life-threatening illness in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.
A metabolic disorder caused fluid to build up inside his body after developing liver, kidney and heart problems, doctors at Xinqiao Hospital told yesterday's Chongqing Evening News.
Liang, 30, who weighed 225 kilograms before going into hospital, is in good spirits, the newspaper said.
"I feel well now," he said, "and my swollen belly is starting to get smaller."
Doctors said the treatment had been a success and Liang had already lost 18 kilograms.
The hospital's ultrasonic equipment discovered that Liang's liver and spleen were double their normal size.
But his quick recovery indicated his organs were working well, doctors said.
Liang was sent to hospital after he lost the ability to walk in April, with his face starting to swell up. His doctor said he could die at any time from multiple organ failure.
Liang was said to have eaten eight meals a day before his treatment, but still complained of feeling hungry.
