Rex Ryan told the New York Post he had his lap band surgically removed in solidarity with his twin brother, Rob, who required his lap band to be removed following complications with the device.
"I did it a long time ago, so I'm not going to get into those things," Ryan said. "But as somebody pointed out, several times, we won more games when I was heavier, so I'll do anything for the squad."
Rex Ryan told ESPN last month that he has gained 30 pounds since he hired Rob to his coaching staff as assistant head coach/defense in January.
