Graham Elliot- Gastric Surgery
While his love for food had him build a respectable name for himself as a chef, it was the same appreciation of a well-cooked meal that had Graham Elliot over-indulge and weigh-up to 400 pounds. With an alarming BMI of over 50 and coming from a family with a history of heart diseases, Elliot knew he wanted better for himself.
After a three-hour gastric surgery procedure that reduced his stomach size and overall body frame, the TV personality made a lifestyle change. Mostly running to stay in shape and eliminating carbs from his diet, Elliot was able to lose 129 pounds in four months.
