John Daly – Lap-band Surgery

Without finishing his degree, John Daly quit college and turned professional in the summer of 1987. After several victories, he has proven over time that he is still competitive and is worth the praise. But his weight loss journey is another story. Throughout his life, Daly has always been the chubby guy on the golf course and his well-being was a regular topic of conversation. Daly remembers that he was advised to lose some weight to play college golf in Arkansas.

Daly underwent lap band surgery and changed his diet and lifestyle. This all resulted in him shedding 115 lbs. Severe diets and the like are time-tested to have an amazing impact but not in the long run. This became obvious for Daly since his weight did not stay off, especially when he sobered up in 1995 and substituted chocolate chip muffins and ice cream for his alcohol cravings.
