While Tiger Woods has been having problems with women and getting negative media attention, John Daly has been in positive spotlight for once. Looking trim and slim like a true athlete, the new John with his colorful outfit has finally gotten rid of his belly. John Daly has been in Australia for the past few weeks and has lost over 100 pounds following a laparoscopic banding weight loss surgery.
While at a press conference in Australia, John was in his usual talkative mood and said, “I just saw Matt Damon, how he swung a golf club, and I thought if I ever made a movie, I want him to be me,” Daly said. “The tough part is who would play me at 290 pounds. Now Kevin James, he’s my bud, but he’d be good.”
When asked what type of story line the movie would like to portray, he added, “It would just be the life; it would be the whole thing. the guts of it all. The problem is who is going to play all the ex-wives?” added Daly, who has four ex-wives.
John Daly had lap band surgery about 9 months ago and so far has done well. The problem now for John is to make sure that he does not put the weight back on otherwise he may have to be replaced in the movie by a sumo wrestler.
Laparoscopic gastric banding does work in reducing weight, but many people do re-gain weight in the second year.
