JOHN POPPER – GASTRIC BYPASS

John Popper, a prominent character of Blues Traveller, had gastric surgery to shed weight and save his life. He didn’t care if he had to hire a fitness trainer or a dietitian then. John just wanted to salvage his health. He knew he had to quit overeating and submit to surgery because he had Type 2 diabetes and was prone to severe heart attacks. Thankfully, his surgery was a successful one, although there were rumors that John gained quite a few pounds. However, last time we checked, we think he was doing okay by all standards.

The famous musician-songwriter was born on March 29, 1967, in Chardon, Ohio. His Hungarian father immigrated to the States in 1948, leaving Budapest but passed on David Popper’s genes, a famous musician, who John Popper is said to take after. His mother and brother, however, were lawyers. Now, the singer can enjoy a more healthy life and career thanks to his surgery.
