The Incredible Shrinking Billy Bob

Actor Ron Lester hasn't had much of a career in Hollywood lately, because he no longer fits into the niche he created for himself. Lester used to play the token fat guy, most famously as Billy Bob in "Varsity Blues."
But thanks to gastric bypass surgery Lester is half the man (actually closer to a third) he used to be.
From a peak weight of 508 pounds Lester lost 315 pounds now checking in at a svelte 193.
He has had 17 surgeries to remove excess skin, including 4 on his face alone. He said 43 of the pounds he lost were pure skin.
And he says he's now two inches shorter due to the loss of fat from the top of his head and bottoms of his feet.
