But making excuses for him is stupid. He dug himself into this hole all on his own. He had a million chances to get help for his issues since he's int he public eye and goddamn experts offered to help him for free, and he refused. Its pretty apparent the only reason he got this surgery was because he was most likely told he'll be legit dead in a year or two if he doesn't cut the bulls*** and get his f***ing life together already.

I don't disagree with you. However, I think it's disingenuous to ignore his laundry list of issues(mental, physical, and otherwise). Ultimately, he has inflicted this on himself. And he has reinflicted it, time and time again. He acknowledges that. He doesn't just go "I don't know how it keeps happening to me". He's fully aware. Internally he probably has a lot of self loathing about the whole situation.

At least now he is taking a (hopefully) permanent step to getting better.

and if he doesn't then I don't think he'll be alive long enough for us to hate him for too long for failing.

I mean hey, I hope he turns over a new leaf and gets his life together. If he does, good on him and i'll be happy for the guy. I'm just more than skeptical because i've been around more than my fair share of weak willed people that self excuse and enable themselves at every turn, and even when hitting rock bottom fail to fix their lives. But! If he can do it, good for him. Just his track record doesn't suggest he has the conviction or willpower necessary to succeed given the regiment one has to commit to to make gastric bypass surgery actually work in really losing that kind of weight. The guy needs a literal drill sergeant tier live-in trainer that controls his life to a T, anything less and he's gonna relapse.
