Rex Ryan

The former New York Jets head coach has a penchant for causing issues on the field. You may have heard about him through his vulgar news conferences or through the videos of his foot fetish that he posts on social media. After all that, moving on, it was his waistline, rather than his large mouth, that grabbed the attention of the media in 2012, and he was able to profit from his celebrity status. In order to undergo a Lap-Band procedure, Rex needed to shed 100 pounds, which he did by dieting and exercising. After years of denial, Rex Ryan finally admitted that he had undergone a gastric sleeve procedure in 2010 to lose weight. According to his interview with Men’s Health, he has also attempted a number of various diet regimes, but none of them have proven to be beneficial for him.

Adam Goldstein

Adam Goldstein, better known by his stage name DJ AM, is most certainly someone you are familiar with. When he was younger, he used to weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 240 pounds. The young man who would grow up to be his father was a large, physically frightening young man with a history of drug abuse. After learning that he was using drugs, his parents immediately began looking for drug addiction treatment options. Given the fact that he was compelled to work late shifts at pubs and nightclubs, he began to indulge in binge eating as he got older. He decided to get gastric bypass surgery in 2003 after much deliberation.
