'I lost 207 lbs at age 60!'
“Who goes through chemo and doesn’t get skinny?” muttered Carol Ubertaccio Hathaway, as she struggled to get comfortable in a narrow hospital bed. Her frown became a chuckle, which sent pain shooting through her belly. After 30 surgeries and countless treatments for gastric issues and leukemia, she was cancer free and had survived a last-chance GI procedure. Yet she was still over 300 pounds, too weak to walk and seemed unable to bounce back. Carol was preparing to die. I wish I’d had the chance to see what being thin and healthy felt like, at least for one day, she mused wistfully. She’d been heavy her whole life and had little luck with diets.
