I'm not asserting that he hasn't been a heavy cocaine user, but if they're planning bypass surgery, that would be to correct a specific problem with a different cause (overeating > overweight > high bad cholesterol > clogged arteries > blockage).

I'm an old lady and I've smoked for over 45 years. Just had a complete body scan in March. I'm in excellent health. Never been overweight in my life. (Except for 3 pregnancies.) Very few wrinkles and I pass for 40. I'm almost 61.
