Naas Hospital now has a €150 cushion catering for 28-stone patients and has invested €730 on a 24-inch chair big enough for a 35-stone patient.
The latest investment at Naas Hospital comes in the wake of the Government's obesity action plan launched last week - without costing or funding.
It plans to cut the average weight of the nation by 5% in a decade amid warnings that Ireland is on course to become the fattest nation in Europe.
Portlaoise Hospital had to commission an operating theatre table built on site at a cost of more than €40,000.
