The larger-than-life Jets coach Rex Ryan is working on his mid-section with some help from modern medical technology. The Daily News found out that "Ryan underwent weight-loss surgery Saturday at NYU Medical Center... A scheduled lap-band procedure was performed on Ryan, team spokesman Bruce Speight said Saturday night."
Ryan is reportedly 340 pounds and would follow a 7,000 calorie-a-day diet— the Post recalled this anecdote, "While dieting a few years ago, an assistant spied Ryan toting a pizza to his hotel room. When confronted, Ryan claimed it was for his son Seth. But the next day, when the assistant asked Seth about the pie, the boy replied, 'What pizza?'"
Ryan has previously said he's concerned about his weight but, "The thing that gets me is, my cholesterol is fine, my blood pressure is fine. I'm a genetic freak, I guess." If you want to see Ryan's belly, check out this video of him changing into a hockey jersey.
