In reply to the discussion: So Chris Christie had lap-band surgery [View all]malaise
(294,798 posts)41. No Christie attacked former White House physician Connie Mariano

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is lashing out at a former White House doctor who said she worries about the governor dying in office because he is so heavy.
Former White House physician Connie Mariano made the comment in an interview with CNN. The Scottsdale, Ariz., doctor says she'd like to see Christie run for president in 2016 but that he needs to lose weight. She worries he could have a heart attack or stroke and expressed her concern about the governor "dying in office."
During a visit Wednesday to a shore town devastated by Superstorm Sandy, Christie was asked about the doctor's comments.
Unless Mariano gives him a physical exam and learns his family history, "she should shut up," the Republican governor said.
Christie said his children heard the doctor's comments and his preteen son asked him if he was going to die.
--------------
and then the ReTHUG fugger headed for surgery in the name of his kids. He's a fraud too- eating the donut on Letterman.

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

well, with the surgery, that problem can most likely be solved. He won't be able to eat

"although I do wonder why he chose a surgery with such a high failure rate."
