Diego Maradona – Two Gastric Bypass Surgeries

Football icon Diego Maradona is a name that has made history in the sporting world. He was, at the peak of his career, the best football player on the planet! It was back in 2009 that Maradona’s first attempts towards losing excess weight were made. Maradona checked himself into a weight loss clinic, seeking help with his health challenges. In March 2005, he got his first gastric bypass at clinic Cartagena de Indias. Maradona then went on to undergo a second gastric bypass surgery ten years after. In 2016, he worked with biomolecular scientist Dr. Ruben Muhlberger to help him shed pounds.
