Dayana Camacho, who had been classified as the most obese teenager in the world, underwent weight-loss surgery nine months ago and managed to lose 90 kilos, a feat that today allows her to enjoy a much healthier life, reports EFE.

The 14-year-old Mexican girl from the state of Sinaloa was able to undergo the operation after her mother asked for help on a radio program. Camacho underwent surgery by specialist doctors who performed a gastric bypass in Jalisco, Mexico. The size of her stomach was reduced to 50 cubic centimeters and thus she managed to drop from 195 kilos to 105. In addition, the young woman explained to EFE that she drastically changed her eating style: eliminated soft drinks and junk food, among other foods.

For Camacho - who, according to his mother, Ramona Carrillo, had difficulty walking and suffered from sleep apnea - his desire was to lead the normal life of any teenager. According to the young woman, she wanted to "lose weight, walk and be prettier." So she asks other young people who are overweight to take action to lead a healthier lifestyle. "Let them be attended to because they can," she added to the news service.

Dayana will be 15 years old on June 24, a celebration that she is looking forward to with great excitement because she will already be able to wear dresses, one of her great wishes that due to her overweight she had not been able to fulfill.

José Antonio Castañeda, doctor in charge of his treatment, explained that it is possible to avoid obesity with a healthy eating style and exercising. Camacho must lose 30 kilos more while receiving nutritional and psychological guidance.
