Diego Maradona has successfully undergone surgery to reduce the size of his stomach.
The Argentine World Cup-winner had a gastric by-pass at a clinic in the Colombian coastal city of Cartagena.
Maradona arrived in Colombia weighing nearly 20st and Dr Carlos Chaux, who headed the medical team, said the surgery was successful.
The surgeon also revealed that Maradona will be on a liquid diet for the next three months and his target is to reach his normal weight of 11st in 18 months.
