Ryan's appendicitis surgery came around one year after he went public about his decision to undergo a six-week rehab program to treat his alcohol addiction. "I think it was getting to a point in my life where I needed a change. So, yes, I checked myself into rehab. I did the classes, I did everything," he told USA Today at that time.

The 12-time Olympic medalist went on to explain, "It helped put things in perspective in my life and what is really more important than going out to a bar and getting hammered or doing anything like that. I go home and get to play with my kids and kiss and hold my wife. And that to me is everything."
