Woman has 93-pound ovarian cyst removed


(TULSA, Okla.) January - A Kellyville woman has undergone dramatic weight loss, but not by any traditional means.

The woman had a 93-pound ovarian cyst removed through surgery earlier this month at SouthCrest Medical Plaza in Tulsa.

Taquela Hilton's doctor says the procedure was like having a C-section to deliver a 12-year-old.

Three years ago, Hilton weighed 563 pounds and was having difficulty losing weight despite exercise and dieting.
