So Chris Christie had lap-band surgery

[CTyankee]

13. I did not have (or need) lap band surgery, but I did have a complication from a procedure

to remedy diverticulitis. That complication led to some removal of digestive tissue in my small intestine, where calories are digested. I lost 30 pounds after that and it took me 4 months to really recover. However, my surgeon said I would never be fat as a result. I have friends who actually asked if they could get such surgery! To them I say "be careful what you wish for..."

However, that said, I cannot eat too much as a result. It is very uncomfortable to even try. So I wonder if Christie will experience the same thing. I have read that people with the surgery he had really bad problems arise when they try to eat the way they used to. My reaction is "ugh, who would want to if it is downright painful?"

It makes me wonder if Christie's diet failures were as a result of obsessive eating, a psychological disorder?
