Stomach Surgery Saves Chevy Chase!

LONGTIME boozer Chevy Chase has finally quit drinking, and shed a killer 110 pounds with gastric bypass surgery in a desperate bid to save his life, sources and medical experts say!

Sources tell GLOBE the 74-year-old, six-foot-four star, who had ballooned to 300 pounds, shed the deadly weight with a combination of surgery and rehab.

“He went to rehab for the second time to deal with his alcoholism,” snitches an insider. “The word is he also went in for gastric bypass surgery to limit the food he eats.

“Slowly but surely, the pounds melted away and he lost 110 pounds. It’s true he’s looking slimmer than he has in decades. Getting sober was key.”
