Chevy Chase fans are stunned to see the dramatic weight loss change that former “Saturday Night Live” has recently revealed. In the past few years Chevy Chase had fans pretty concerned after the actor’s weight ballooned up to over 300 pounds, but in 2018 what a huge difference, Chevy Chase has lost 110 pounds!
Chevy Chase reveals new look and healthy attitude
At age 74, and standing at 6’4 Chevy has revealed to fans just how he managed to drop the weight that he had packed on over the past years. In past years Chevy’s pals were growing very concerned about the Chase’s health issues. Chevy Chase credits surgery and rehab along with a new outlook on life that has helped him begin to regain his health. According to Radar Online reports the “Christmas Vacation” star recently underwent gastric bypass surgery to help get a grasp on his out of control eating.
Alcohol abuse a big factor in Chevy Chase past health issues
In the past, Chase has admitted to having issues with self-control whether it be with his poor diet habits or his fondness for alcohol. He also reveals that returning to rehab recently and regaining control of his addiction issues with alcohol have also really helped to drop the weight even quicker. Radar’s expert Dr. Stuart Fischer, who has not treated Chevy Chase reveals that following gastric bypass it is incredibly hard to gain weight, if not nearly impossible.
Never too late to make a change
However having the surgery comes with a lot of risks, and gastric bypass does not cure the person’s past ailment issues such as heart damage, and circulatory damage done before the surgery. The celebrity news site claims a source close to Chase stated that before surgery Chevy was hitting rock bottom, his drinking was out of control.
As previously reported Chevy Chase also recently engaged in a nasty road rage confrontation which led to the comic getting brutally attacked by a lot younger members of the aggressive vehicle. At this time in his life Chevy Chase is looking and feeling fantastic, we hope he keeps up the good work, steers clear of the alcohol and enjoys a happy and healthy life.
