	Comments on Al Roker
		Roker appears to have made the decision, very much influenced by his father's admonition to "lose weight" (even though his father died of the repercussions of smoking, not obesity) and his wife's constant pressure (Deborah Roberts is a TV anchor with a body to kill for, who appears to be somewhat younger than Roker.
		She has admitted to bothering Roker a lot about what he ate and his weight).
		It is obviously their own business, however, we absolutely DO NOT KNOW if Al Roker is having an easy time with his gastric bypass or not.
