Two severely obese women in New Zealand are all geared up to be on the life saving trip to South Korea. The two women, Wellington woman Lynda Sim, 45, weighing about 160kg, having Type 2 diabetes and Jasmine Sciascia, 26, from Wanganui, weighing almost 200kg, are reported to have received a free deal from Korea Tourism Organization to receive free surgery.
Wanganui surgeon Clive Solomon, who had operated on both the ladies, has reportedly expressed concern over the prescribed timeframe of the visit. Further, he has warned of possible blood clotting in the major vein during the journey, as the major concern, prior to the surgery in hospital.
Understanding the logical concern of Clive, the two have accepted the offer so as to save their life from the claws of possible death, predicted by doctors.
Sciascia is reportedly perplexed over the fact that she was among the one selected to bear the benefits of this golden opportunity across the world.
Noh Kyong-Tae, marketing director for South Korea's Tourism organization reportedly came to know about Ms Sciascia on the Wanganui Chronicle website, and further offered the free offer of life saving trip.
Mr. Kyong-Tae reportedly told such life saving trips is means of promoting the specialized surgeries to foreigners. Moreover, the world rated hospital will be taking care of the expenses pertaining to the trip including the accommodation.
