Khaliah Ali – Gastric Band Surgery

Being a daughter of Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer of all time was not an easy feat for Khaliah Ali – especially at the time when she was weighing 325 pounds. She was never concerned about her weight, but the pressure of being the kid of a famous boxer took its toll on her. Ali only planned to follow a yo-yo diet for the rest of her life to keep her weight in check.

But after being criticized too often, she decided to get a gastric band surgery in 2004. This procedure is said to be “less invasive” than gastric bypass, as it only places a band on their stomachs to lose weight. Although it’s deemed to be safe, it may still be necessary for people to get insurance when getting this procedure.
