    I just don't get it. He had the stomach reduction surgery and had lost some weight, but now he's as big as ever. How is that possible when surrounded by professional trainers, chefs, etc?

    This makes me sad. Wouldn't surprise me if he's out for the season. He's great at what he does but his health is not good.

    And that is a wise decision. This is something that the Phoenix announcer does not understand.

    I hope Wheels gets better soon. That sounds like a very uncomfortable condition.

    Surgery isn't a cure. Not even close.

    I think he relapsed and never got back on track

    There's a surprisingly high percentage of people for whom that surgery doesn't work - something like 30%. Their body rejects it. My brother had it. Lost 100 lbs, and a few years later, he gained it all back. Emotionally heartbreaking and physically difficult.
