Dr. Kai Nishi of The Khalili Center interviewed on Football Reporters Online
Listen to part 2 after the break.
Football Reporters Online is a prominent football media outlet with compelling interviews about all things football. Dr. Kai Nishi and his patient Coach James Hardy, a former player come on with host Dr. William Chachkes to discuss Coach Hardy’s magnificently successful bariatric surgery, needed due to the excessive 450+ pound starting weight. Coach Hardy has lost over 200 pounds and his story is a must listen to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery. Post playing days health concerns are at the forefront of the national conversation with the revelation that the average age of a former pro football player is under 60 years, that concussions are proving devestating later in life, and that massive players who don’t contol their excessive weight as they move on in life are putting their lives’ longevity in severe danger. Bariatric surgery is one great tool to consider, and Dr. Nishi’s comments must be heard and used to learn how to deal with severe obesity.
