Gov. Chris Christie & Weight-loss Surgery


Finally, the New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was reported secretly underwent a special weight-loss surgery called “lap-band stomach surgery”. It took place in February, 2013  amid concern from his family and friends over his weight.

But wait a minute!

These public figures---politicians, celebrities and the sorts---are the same all over the world where their egos are concerned.

How come Mr. Christie didn't think of his wife and children (in the past 20 years that he had been carrying the excess weight) by taking some serious action to reduce it? Why wait for Dr. Connie Mariano, the former White House doctor, to prod him into real action (when the doctor publicly advised him to do "something" urgently about his obesity)?

Instead of gratitude, the governor had gone into instant denial and lambasted the doctor. And now that the governor has done "something" about the weight matter, it's only fair that he tender an unreserved apology to Dr. Mariano.

This should be a good lesson for those who are fortunate enough to have someone advise them in regard to obvious problems. Instead of denials and insults, such individuals should learn to be grateful and take immediate actions to solve their problems.
