New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie secretly underwent lap-band stomach surgery in February amid concern from his family and friends over his weight.

This was posted on Yahoo news.

Did anyone use the same Dr. as Governor Christie. I read some bad things in the news about him and pending law suites. Wish the best for the Gov even though we would differ politically I know this fat issue knows no bounds.

I used the same doctor and I can say that he's my HERO!!! I think he's the most incredible surgeon, very talented, my scars are almost unnoticeable, I've had no problems, adore the nurses and he has an incredible aftercare practice. I did a LOT of research before choosing him and could not be happier. Oh, and he also has a Lap Band himself. He runs the WLS practice at NYU Langone in NYC. He's so knowledgable and helped me weigh all my choices before landing on the band (went in wanting the sleeve), and I even kinda have a crush on him. Hero Worship.
