The mystery of Gov. Chris Christie's weight loss has been revealed as the New Jersey governor weight surgery was said to be a fact by the politician himself, when he told conservative donors for his campaign (after they pressured him) that he went through lapband surgery.
Although the New Jersey governor's weight surgery was finally said publicly (somewhat), Gov. Christie still refused to share his current weight to his campaign's donors. The revelation occurred at a meeting behind closed doors in David Koch's Upper East Side New York City apartment, the man who, along with brother Charles, has spent millions of dollars on conservative causes, being one of Christie's top supporters.
The New Jersey governor's weight surgery had been talked about for a while, as the politician's weight began to rapidly decrease since last year; however, to the press, the leader's health had been off-limits. It was only in a supposedly safe environment that the New Jersey governor's weight surgery was finally discussed to people outside his inner circle of advisors.
The leak occurred when a guest of the meeting told The New York Times what had gone down in the private affair, where the New Jersey governor's weight surgery was finally revealed to campaign donors. According to the Times, the governor even took it lightly, making a wildly popular joke about his former weight: "A doctor once told me you have to have the right relationship with the food you eat. And believe me, for many years, I had a great relationship with the foods I ate."
It is clear that as Governor Christie eyes a possible candidacy to the White House, the politician is convinced he will not gain the votes necessary to become the new resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with his current weight; as such, he was determined to give his body a change of pace to a more natural state.
