Mr. Condliff:

Your medical conditions make the surgery and the postoperative recovery period more than likely fatal.

Why should the taxpayers pay for an expensive procedure that is likely to kill you when you are obviously nearly dead anyway?

“He said his weight spiraled out of control in recent years as a result of medication.”

Then, what good would a gastric bypass do? Metabolic problem?

Just admit he’s overeating, for Pete’s sake! He should use some will power and just stop eating so much. If he thinks he’s got problems now, just wait ‘til he finds out how fun life is with a gastric bypass.
