ONE OF THE Operation Transformation leaders has had to take a break because of illness.
Dan Kennedy is currently in hospital, where he is being treated for severe colitis.
Viewers watched last week as he told the Operation Transformation experts that he had not been feeling well, and had been suffering from stomach cramps and passing blood.
The 44-year-old – who has already lost over 12lbs and three inches on the plan – was advised to rest up while the issue was investigated by medical staff, and after tests he was diagnosed with severe colitis.
He is being monitored in hospital and as a result he won’t be following the Operation Transformation plan this week. He also couldn’t take part in this week’s weigh-in, weekly challenge or Parkrun.
But the team behind Operation Transformation said that while Kennedy is taking a break, his followers are being encouraged to stick with the plan.
Dan Kennedy said:
I am really disappointed to have to step back from Operation Transformation this week but I am really hopeful that, all going well, I will be back soon. I would definitely recommend to anyone who has any niggling worries to not be afraid to go to their doctor and get it sorted. I also encourage anyone following my plan to keep going and thank you for all your support.
Operation Transformation expert Dr Ciara Kelly said that the colitis is a condition that pre-existed his involvement in Operation Transformation which he was unaware of. “Dan has shown immense leadership qualities during this time, showing huge concern for his followers. We would like to wish him a speedy recovery,” she said.
Operation Transformation is broadcast on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8.30pm on RTÉ One.
