Whatever his politics, Gov. Christie has made a commitment for similar reasons, that all of us have faced.

cheers on your journey, Governor!

I am happy for him and I hope he is able to be successful. Glad he went public about it to.

Yes, wonderful that he decided to do this for himself and his family! I wish him much success!

i agree karen, i think its great he is making himself (well).

that is what matters in reality...

Congratulations and it's about time. Better health, better quality of life for his future. Win Win situation for him and family.

Best wishes

He used the same doctors I did. Gonna keep an eye out for him when I go to the office for followups...LOL!

So thankful!! I appreciate Gov Christie's desire for privacy but also would want him to know, we are all in the same boat. We want to be around for our loved ones. Enjoy life to it's fullest. We just can't do it as an obese person. We miss out on so much in life. Cheers to him and his journey!

So glad he did. Even though on an interview he said he was healthy he was not. I am glad he decided to get healthy.

I am anxious to see how he does... It's validating to know he chose the band instead of bypass or sleeve. I hope he's able to get support and is totally successful. He is still young enough to change his future health... I believe he is sincere about losing it for his family and not his career. He will continue to do well politically either way.

I LOVE that he went public with his decision to better his health through WLS. Though we live in California, my husband and I are huge Chris Christie fans. We love his politics, and hope he does run for president some day. He's got OUR vote!

Weird coincidence, he announced it the day I had my surgery AND we had the same surgeon do it!
