Christie reveals weight loss surgery

After turning 50 years old, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie secretly underwent lap-band surgery in February for the sake of his wife and kids, a source close to the governor confirmed to CNN.

Christie (pictured) told the New York Post, which first reported the story, that the invasive procedure came after his family and friends urged him to start improving his health.

"I've struggled with this issue for 20 years," he said. "For me, this is about turning 50 and looking at my children and wanting to be there for them."

    I'd sue for malpractice. The surgery clearly isn't working.

    All,
    I don't know why more athlete don't use a personal trainer on off season to stay strong and get stronger and healthier. As a personal trainer in Georgetown Washington DC and Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Springfield, Old Town) area for last 25 years. Most of top athlete need personal trainers in off season to get stronger and feel confident. http://myur.com/ The other problem with athlete is they don't watch what they eat in of season.
    I know as a trainer I am biased, but i don't know anyone that can't benefit from personal training.
