A morbidly obese woman said her life was saved after she lost 35 stone - when doctors were forced to cut off her TONGUE.

Jen Costa, 35, piled on 25 stone over 14 years after she suffered injuries in a car crash and gorged on takeaways every day - leaving her tipping the scales at almost 650lbs.

Size 9XL Jen was so large she was unable to stand up in the shower and had to have her partner wash her with a sponge as she sat on a chair.

She noticed a pain in her mouth when she struggled to complete a takeaway order over the phone - and then discovered a tiny white lump on the right side of her tongue.
