So does he have insurance or did the American taxpayers’ foot the bill for his lack of self control?

Well, it worked for him but he also needed to lose weight on his own. Some could probably do it without the risky surgery, once you drop 100 poumds they could have confidence they can keep doing it. Some would probably also need something like this. At least it seems to have worked out. He didn’t just stay huge and get bigger. Good overall outcome.

Three hundred pounds is almost three of me.
Makes me feel like an endangered species.

“… diet of “only junk, fast food and snacks”

He hasn’t been struggling with anything other than poor judgement and impulse control.

One of the problems with people morbidly obese is they also are usually diabetic. They never feel full. There is a diabetic prescription that really helps with diabetes but it makes you feel full and has the added benefit of weight loss.
My wife had really bad diabetes and could not control it. The doctor put her on Ozympic and it really help with diabetes and she lost weight to boot. I read the other day that doctors were putting obese people on this for weight loss.

I like weight loss stories. The hardest part of losing weight is keeping it off.

I know, I've been there.

Hope the new procecure helps him maintain. Our wonderful friend Chris Christie has had a lap band, but the donuts keep making their way to his bathroom scale. He has no idea how they got there.

Due to health issues this past year, I’ve lost weight that I’m now desperately trying to regain. For me, it’s pretty hard to do.
