JOHN DALY – 115 LBS: LAP-BAND SURGERY

John Daly used to say that he dropped nearly 660 lbs by implanting a diet of popcorn, cigarettes, and whiskey. What a dreadful diet that sounds like! The truth is that this ace golfer decided to get a Lap-Band surgery in 2008. He lost around 115 lbs after getting the procedure, although it would cause him to lose muscle strength as well. After he got the procedure done in 2009, John went back to his European tour and told jokes to a bunch of journalists in Australia. This was a guy who once weighed about 280 to 300 lbs. We bet he felt a lot ‘lighter’ after dropping all that excess weight.

KHALIAH ALI – 120 LBS: PLACED A BAND ON HER STOMACH TO LOSE WEIGHT

Khaliah Ali is the daughter of boxing superstar Muhammad Ali. She used to weight 325 lbs if you can believe it. She was perfectly fine to go on with her yo-yo diet to keep her weight in order, although the constant criticism led to her decision to go get a gastric band surgery last 2004. The daughter of the national sporting hero later revealed that she was not all that concerned about her weight, although she just found it unbearable to hear the criticisms as the daughter of the wonderful boxer. Gastric band surgery is not as invasive as gastric bypass since it just involves a band on the stomach for weight loss.
