The procedure that New York Jets coach Rex Ryan underwent was a lap-band procedure intended to help him lose weight.
The New York Daily News is reporting that Ryan, who weighed 340 pounds at the beginning of last season, had the surgery performed at New York University Medical Center on Saturday.
Team spokesman Bruce Speight said that Ryan has been released from the hospital and is back at his home in New Jersey. Ryan also had a hernia repaired.
Ryan, who also had a hernia repaired while in the hospital, was unavailable for comment.
Ryan's weight has been up and down over the years, including his time with the Baltimore Ravens.
Ryan would often go on long walks during training camp to try to trim down when he was in Baltimore with some success. However, his work regimen during the season when he would work longer hours than practically everyone on the coaching staff and his diet would typically reverse any progress made.
Per the report, Ryan gained 30 pounds between the time of his hire and the beginning of last season.
"You're always concerned," Ryan said last summer. "I want to see my kids grow, I want to see my grandkids. The thing that gets me is, my cholesterol is fine, my blood pressure is fine. I'm a genetic freak, I guess."
National Football Post sends its best wishes to Ryan and his family.

Dan, your response is typical, but not very understanding. I don't have the current numbers in front of me, but something like 1/3 of the people in the US are overweight and a significant fraction of that are obese. All of them want to lose weight. Very few of them are successful. If it were as simple as you say, everyone would do it. Please let up and have a little understanding for those who are not as perfect as you are.
Yeah, and smokers shouldn't smoke, and drinkers shouldn't drink, and drug addicts shouldn't do that, and we should all floss more. People should live flawless lives like the robots they are rather than have human weaknesses. Why don't they do that?
People make mistakes. People should make better choices. But let's not just blame the victim with self-righteous indignation. To do so let's a food industry based on the flavor triggers - fats and sugars - and which cares for little else besides the bottom line off the hook.
Consider this: the poorest people in this country suffer the most from obesity. That's at odds with every other country in the world.
That said, there's got to be a better way to deal with Rex's problem than for him to have a radical surgery. But people often choose the easy way out when the harder path of prevention just seems to get in the way of their profession. I feel for the guy and I hope he gets through this.
Worked wonders for Charlie Weis - not!!
Rex should have joined the Nutra system bandwagon
I have had a Lap Dance procedure on a number of occasions and it it good.
Whatever happened to good old diet and exercise? Come on, Rex! You don't even have to pay for gym membership.
Ryan has been released from the hospital and is back at his home in New Jersey. Ryan also had a hernia repaired.
best wishes to Ryan and his family

People deserve good life time and home loans or just college loan will make it better. Just because freedom relies on money state.
