| Jets Coach Rex Ryan Speaks About His Lap-Band Surgery | | |
Jets coach Rex Ryan was thinking of his family, not himself, when the Jets' portly coach decided to have lap-band weight loss surgery earlier this month. Making his first public appearance since the procedure, Ryan told reporters here today at the NFL's annual meeting that he knew his ballooning weight had put his health on a slippery slope and jeopardized all his hard work. "I've got everything right now," a slightly leaner-looking Ryan said, relaxing on a hotel lobby couch. "I mean, I've got the world by the you-know-whats. It's unbelievable. Everything that I've ever wanted in my life, great family, healthy family. I'm financially set. I'm doing exactly what I want to do, which is coaching in the National Football League. And I'm a head coach in the National Football League. .But if you don't have your health, you don't have nothing. I want to be around and enjoy my kids, see my grandkids." Ryan, who underwent the previously undisclosed operation March 13 at NYU Medical Center, revealed today that he weighed 338 pounds on the operating table and had lost 20 pounds, down to 317 in the two weeks since.
