A woman from Texas has been approved for a double arm transplant.

Katy Hayes, 43, of Kingwood, Texas, was scheduled to speak alongside surgeons from Brigham and Women's Hospital during a news conference on Wednesday.

Hayes lost her arms and legs two years ago when she was infected with a flesh-eating bacteria after giving birth. She would be the first person in the United States to receive a transplant of both arms above the elbow.
