This weekend, a group of weight loss surgery patients from the Gastric Band Institute in Las Vegas will be hitting the streets for a mini-marathon and demonstrate the just what a difference bariatric surgery can make.
They call themselves “Team GBI,” and they’ll be participating in a 13-mile run/walk during the Las Vegas Rock n’ Roll Marathon, on Sunday, December 6th. The patients have been training hard with the institute’s dietician, Prudence Ticknor, who has also been using a blog to advise them about nutrition and training for a half-marathon as properly as possible.
All of us here at the Weight Loss Surgery Channel want to congratulate Team GBI for their commitment to healthy living, and we wish them lots of luck this weekend!
