Pro golfer John Daly has been attracting media attention due to his 115-pound weight loss following weight-loss surgery. Daly, who was suspended from the PGA tour for six months in December 2008 due to alcohol abuse, underwent adjustable gastric banding surgery in February. At his heaviest, Daly was between 280 and 300 pounds. He states he would bend down to tie his shoe while playing and come up out of breath.
The 43-year-old Daly has been exercising and watching his diet, and says he hasn’t been drinking much since the surgery.
Daly is now urging the government to make LAP-BAND® surgery more widely available. “Your self-esteem gets better,” he said. “This is the greatest technology that anyone can have. It’s something I hope the government would look seriously at, especially for kids.”
Daly recently entertained a news conference in Australia with plans for an autobiographical book and movie, stating he would want Matt Damon to play him in the story of his life.
