He seemed so confident with his weight and I never thought it was an issue for him. In a recent interview he talked about a meeting with a Dr who liken WLS to surgery to remove a disease. Most don't look at obesity as a disease. They just see us as fat overeaters.

Good for him.

He said he did it for his wife and kids not for political reasons but....I'm sure it had to influence him that people kept saying nobody would vote for such an overweight man for President. I just hope it works well for him, I see so many on here that had lapband and now are getting VSG.

IMO they should have made him get the sleeve or bypass because of his weight the band wont be affective for him long term.

I agree! I sure wish I was a fly on the wall in that conversation with his surgeon! Maybe it was him who wanted the band & didn't listen to their advice?? Who knows!

I thought the same thing - why didn't he get the sleeve? I thought about writing him to say good luck, but when you get sick of it look into the sleeve!

I get it! I'm in marketing and the skinny girl always gets the business. That's the type of world we live in. No matter how good I do my job it never fails. Oh well......I'm catching up to that skinny girl and business is also improving! But most importantly I did it for me, my health and my family. I hope Gov. Christy is successful but I agree.....should've had the sleeve!!

Btw.....has anyone read Al Roker's book? If so how was it and is it worth buying?

If you are interested in reading a book, read "Stranger Here" I can't remember the name of the Author, but it is good and she is very funny in her writing.

And you know this how? please leave this man and his family alone this is his choice; not our's if it works fine and if it don't work it is him not your choice, good lord we don't own this man just because he is a governor.his personal life has nothing to do with us.

IMO they should have made him get the sleeve or bypass because of his weight the band wont be affective for him long term.How can you make a grown person have a sleeve or bypass I have had the sleeve and would have liked him to have the sleeve or bypass; but it was up to him and his family not us, please give him the respect to handle his (own life) maybe one day he might have sleeve or bypass. but untill that day please give him the respect that you would like!

No one is saying you can't have a opinion I read alot of post about the band that is why I got the sleeve, I (thought I read where it was posted he should have been made to get the sleeve or bypass if this was not you then I am sorry but my problem is when any one say they should have (MADE him get one or the other too choice's, I really don't like it when the word's (make someone do something come up) if this was not you I am sorry not trying to stop your 2nd amendment or any one else for that matter.

i did say made but because they know the data of the band thats why and by they i mean doctors. im glad he did something just wish it was a sleeve or bypass. And the 2nd Amendment is the right to bear arms the 1st Amendment is freedom of speech, press, media, religion and expression. its okay just the doctors know more then the patient thats why i said that.

I am sorry not trying to stop your 2nd amendment or any one else for that matter.

Girl it ain't that serious, why you tryin to bring guns into it??
