Did Graham Elliot Undergo Weight Loss Surgery? Let's Find Out.  

Graham Elliot's amazing transformation in recent times may have motivated his fans for good, but many have been questioning the secret behind the dramatic loss. The American chef, restaurateur, and reality TV star reportedly lost a whopping 150 pounds in a short span.  

Graham Elliot Bowles is a Seattle-born chef. He rose to fame with cooking competition series, like Iron Chef and Top Chef Master. Elliot further marked his place when he appeared as a judge for Masterchef and its spin-off Masterchef Junior. Here's a look at Graham's incredible weight loss journey. 

How Did Elliot Lose 150 Pounds?  

It takes years for ordinary people to drop that kind of weight; Graham did it in months. And yes, you guessed it right, the Master chef underwent a sleeve gastrectomy to shed the staggering pounds. Before the surgery, Elliot used to weigh 400lbs.

Despite living a successful and seemingly perfect life, Graham says he was at risk of serious health issues. Elliot had taken the first step for a healthy life long back, but with little result. The chef says he was scared for his life and thought he would be around for long to see his sons grow if he lost weight.

But the surgery wasn't the end to his weight loss journey, the chef says; real hard work followed afterward as he struggled to maintain the weight.
