Professional Golfer John Daly Sees Weight Loss Success after LAP-BAND Procedure Performed by Dr. Tif
Largo, Florida – July 10, 2009 – John Daly, professional PGA golfer, recently underwent bariatric surgery in Florida with Dr. Tiffany Jessee as his surgeon. Since his LAP-BAND (R) surgery in February 2009, Daly has lost over 70 pounds and now wears extra large shirts compared the triple XL shirts of a few months ago.
The LAP-BAND procedure is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which a silicone gastric band is placed around the top of the upper part of the stomach. The LAP-BAND® System works by helping control food intake and supporting long term, sustainable weight loss.
When asked about his LAP-BAND procedure, Daly said, “It’s been a blessing for me. What I now eat in one week is what I used to eat in one day.” Daily is even drinking less, thanks to his LAP-BAND surgery. "It takes me about an hour to drink one beer, just sipping on it," he said. "I drink a little bit, but not much." Daly has also attributed more consistent golf strokes to his recent weight loss, noting "I'm not having to lean back because my gut's hanging over."
According to Dr. Jessee, “John has been a model bariatric surgery patient. He has been working hard to achieve his weight loss goals, including changing his unhealthy behaviors and making it work for himself."
