| Description | Gov. Chris Christie underwent lap-band surgery in February, the New Jersey Republican confirmed to Morning Joe on Tuesday morning.
“I’ve struggled with this issue for 20 years,” he told the New York Post. “For me, this is about turning 50 and looking at my children and wanting to be there for them.”
His family urged him to get the surgery, which placed a tube around his stomach to reduce the amount of food he can eat before feeling full; he said was not motivated by political aspirations.
But his weight has been a issue in his political career: Former White House doctor Connie Mariano told reporters in early February that she feared Christie, if elected, would die in office. |
