Patient Success Story: From 300 Pounds to Marathoner
by Garth Davis, MD on May 05, 2015Can you believe this little power house used to be 300 lbs? Christina would have never thoughts she would ever be able to be an athlete. Over 2 years ago she had surgery and viewed it – correctly – as just a tool.
She completely changed her diet (basically lacto ovo vegetarian, some fish) and has become an athlete. She has completed multiple marathons and is now training for the Marine Corp Marathon.
I see so many people who think there is no chance they can escape their inevitable failing health. People are in a rut. Had I told Christina 2 years ago that she would run a marathon, she would have never believed me.
