Earlier this year, Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan followed in the footsteps of his fraternal twin, Rex, undergoing lap-bad surgery to promote weight loss.

So far, it has worked.

Rob Ryan said Friday that he has lost 35 pounds having the stomach-shrinking device installed. "[T]hat’s a good thing,” Ryan said, via Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com. “It’s only been a couple months so [the doctor] is real happy with me. Hell, I’ll keep working.”

Ryan said the goal was to ensure a long life. “I did it for health, not for beauty,” Ryan said. “I did get a sweet cut, though. I am trying to look like a Cowboy.”

He already talks like a cowboy; he may as well look like one. Either way, congrats and good luck, Rob.
